the answer is firebug. install it, never look back. "view source" makes a new page request every time you do it. it's the default behavior, and as far as i know, only possible behavior. you can also reload the source (F5/Ctrl+R) without messing with the browser page--i do this when i'm fiddling with things that'll change the source, but won't actually change the rendered page. this doesn't actually solve your problem, but i've got a related thought: one thing i've seen sites do recently (especially 2.0/ajaxey ones) is to do a quick redirect after a successful form submission, so that the "thanks" page counts as a brand new page request that isn't associated with a POST. prevents accidental double posts, keeps the user from dealing with the "you're about to resubmit a form" dialog, lets you refresh the page. it seems like a win-win situation. any thoughts on this? justin -- http://justinhileman.com _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
