page reload question

[pleaseexplaintome]

Hi, I have a perl/cgi script that includes dynamically created
checkboxes and file names. When a given checkbox is checked I move the
related file. how do I redisplay the page without the checkbox and
file name. In other words, I want to reload the page just as if the
user has entered for the 1st time.

i've tried variations of:

<form action="/cgi-bin/page.cgi" method="post" onsubmit="doRefresh()">

function doRefresh(){
location.replace("/cgi-bin/page.cgi");
//location.reload("/cgi-bin/page.cgi");
//location.reload("");
}

Thanks for any help

Wow, that looks so much like JavaScript, instead of perl, it's amazing.

My crystal ball says... if you're using the CGI module, look in the
documentation for 'override'.

This doesn't make any sense at all. If you're posting back the form to
move the files, why don't you remove the checkboxes from the page you
return in response? You're trying to intercept the post action and
instead reload the page, which means the form the user is submitting
will never get processed.

hi

pass the deleted file as parameter, then process it according to the
parameter

----------------------------------------
my $page = new CGI;

my $content;
if($page->param('file')) {
$content = .....create processed form / something....;
}

#
my $jscript =<<SCRIPT;
function doRefresh(deletedfilename){
location.replace("/cgi-bin/page.cgi?file="+deletedfilename);
}
SCRIPT

print $page->header,
$page->start_html,
$jscript,
$content,
$page->end_html,

----------------------------------------
