Hello all,
 
I have a jsf page that opens up a popup window.  When the popup window 
is closed I need to refresh the page automatically.  I can do this using 
javascript, however a confirm dialogue appears to the user with the 
following message:
 
"The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA.  If you resend the 
data, any action the form carried out (such as a search or online 
purchase) will be repeated.  To resend the data, click OK. Otherwise, 
click Cancel"
 
I get the same warning dialogue if I manually refresh a page, whether 
there is no form on the page or not.  Is there any way around this?

That message is from IE. So I presume that when you say "refresh the 
page" you are using script that invokes the browser's refresh button?

I would recommend instead using the script to click a hidden submit 
button in the page....
