Hi David,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I had been suggested on another group to post question over here.
Can you please provide the right place to post, and if possible a
short description of how to achieve the 'resend' issue, so that i can
explore myself. Is there any javascript solution to this problem?
Regards,
Amol

It's done server side. Ask in the group specialising in your server side
scripting language.

A red herring.

As mentioned, it can be a server side issue. It is usually a matter of
using a POST when you could/should have used a GET request. If you do
need to use a POST, then you can redirect on the server afterward.

It can be a time-consuming trying to track down the right answer on
Usenet (or God forbid StackOverflow or the like). And this looks like a
good place for a plug.

I'm getting ready to announce a new service (sort of like an insurance
policy against wasting time) for those who have to deal with the
HTML/CSS/JS trio on a daily basis. For $100 (US) per month, you can ask
me (by email or IM) up to three (brief) questions per day with answers
guaranteed within 24 hours. It's working like a charm in a limited
roll-out (for me and the initial customers). Most don't ask anywhere
near three questions per day and I find that most of the questions are
softball pitches that I can easily flick out of the yard with one arm
(i.e. asked and answered and over in thirty seconds or less). The
average man (or woman) on the street seems thrilled to avoid this part
of the Internet (meaning Usenet). I can't blame them. This is one of
the better groups; but, for whatever reason, it is also tops on the list
of places the clients wish to avoid. And of course, some answers you
can't get here at all.

Browsers normally only store form data (for auto-completion) IIF
there has been a post of said form.
If you avoid posting (I don't think changing the method from POST to
GET will do much good here), then no data is stored. This pretty much
leaves you with using XMLHttpRequest.
