Refresh a page, without resending POST data(ASP.NET)

Question

How to refresh and reload the page without resending the POST data?

I have tried location.reload() which works absolutely fine on Chrome(which was the testing environment while development). But IE and Firefox went into an Infinite Loop in JS - reposting a lot of junk/duplicate data.

Note: However, I just want to refresh the page to clear all the form contents. I am also registering a start up script after Submit, that will show the alert message that data was added successfully.

HELP!

Are you posting the page normally, or through JavaScript/AJAX? — Tieson T., Dec 21 '12 at 07:55

Try this:

window.location.href = window.location.href;

location.href = location.href + '?' + Math.random();

This should work.

+1, but you also need to check if the '?' all ready exist on href. – Aristos Dec 21 '12 at 08:04

In your code add:

Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl)

If you just want to clear the form, why not:

<input type="reset" value="Clear Fields">

You could also do it using:

document.getElementById('<%=form1.ClientID%>').reset();

Seems a waste to reload the page unless you need to do something else as well.

I've try reload too, and reload(true) both not exactly doing what I wanted.

I've seen that Location Object have other method (than reload) since I wanted to request the page in "get" I just did:

location.assign(window.location);

So far seem to be doing what I want, reload the same page without submitting again values. My use case is an ajax call to the server when session has expired. I display an error message saying that the session is lost, then I want the page to reload.

Simple way:

history.replaceState(null, document.title, location.href)
