IE better than FireFox???

[lekhuyen]

In my project, I have a text box and a button. when button is clicked (text of TextBox is "Unbelievable"), Page will be direct to "abc.aspx".
But the problem is text box.
I standing at abc.aspx and press Back button of browser.
If the browser is IE, text of TextBox is "Unbelievable".
If the browser is FF, text of TextBox is "".

I don't know what is happening in my web page.
Thank you for any help.

So you're saying when you click the button, the text of the textbox is set to 'unbelievable' and within the same event, you redirect to another page?

First of all, I can see no conceivable reason as to why you would want to do that: populate a textbox and then redirect. Why even populate it?

Second, this is happening because firefox is reloading the page from the server, while IE is giving you the cached version of the page.

If you leave out the value attribute on the textbox Firefox does not reset it when loading the cached version.


Edit: Oh yeah, and nice dramatic attention-grabbing thread title. Worked well

Hi mendhak,

At first, I apolozise about my Question. When I click the button, textbox isn't set to 'unbelievable', It was set before I click the button.

I've try a new way to understand more about FF and IE.

Now, I have two textbox. One shows the Name (txtName), one shows the FName (txtFName). When value of Name is changed, value of txtFName is changed too. When i click the button, the Page will go to abc.aspx. Then, I click Back button on standard buttons in abc.aspx, page returns back.
But with IE: the values of txtFName, txtName are stored.
With FF: the value of txtFName is stored but value of txtName is not.
In my code behind, I reset value of txtFName = "" before I go to next page.
And i want values of txtFName, txtName are stored or not stored, not one of them is stored.
So, What should i do now?

To keep the values use Cache code to put the values back ionto the page text box's:

To stop the catch from doing this try clearing rthe browser catch with asp with:

<% Response.CacheControl = "no-cache" %>
<% Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache" %>
<% Response.Expires = -1 %>

Not sure if that code works any more but may do

I had tried your code. but It don't have any thing better.

Ok then try this maybe:

 Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' check page isn't been post back from form event procedures
        ' Might need to be "If Page.IsPostBack Then" as can't be sure which one you need
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
        'Add code to empty the text box's i.e.
       MyTextBox.text = ""
       End if
 end sub

Might that work ? Or you could just have

 Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        'Add code to empty the text box's i.e.
       MyTextBox.text = ""
end sub

That would clear the text box's every time but would cause problems with from post back events as the text box's would loose their data but you can work around that by adding it back in with catch code

Hope this helps a bit ?
