Reloading page problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 02.2011

When I’m in a certain php page that contains data passed via POST from another page, and I reload the page by pressing the <enter> in the address bar I notice the page reloads but with all the searched data from the POST gone. This is in firefox, just fyi.

There is no issue when the reload button is used.

How can you prevent all the data from going away if the user resends the page by pressing <enter> in the address bar.

The thing I noticed is that after you have a screen filled with the data, then go to the address bar and press <enter> on that same address, it reloads the page but this time without all the data that came from the post.

The problem, on the other hand, does not occur when I refresh the page using the reload button.

Success!
