Clear cache after submit.

[HoussemRIAHI]

Hello all,

I'm new to coldfusion, and want to know is there a sulution to clear the cache after submitting a cfml page, coz when refreshing the page (F5) it submits the form again..

thank you

If you have a page that processes a form, and you refresh it without resubmitting the form, what would you expect to happen?

[HoussemRIAHI]

so is that the normal behaviour ?

I mean once the form submitted, there's no need to keep all the form values in the browser cache, and i asked if there a solution to cheat that issue ?

[Dan_Bracuk]

Yes that's the normal behavior if you use method = post when submitting your form.  If you use method = get the form variables become url variables and you may not have to re-submit the form on a page refresh.  I don't know for sure because I never use method = get.

That is a matter for the browser to decide. There are times when the client wishes to keep the form values.

i asked if there a solution to cheat that issue ?

Yes. Use the form's action attribute to specify an action page that is distinct from the form page.

Seems to be good solution to set form action to different page

as i said, i'm new to coldfusion and still thinking C#

anyway it does matter.

thank you guys

Nevermind. We all are, in a way. Coldfusion is growing all the time.
