kvarnerexpress 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2005 Well this questioned wasnt answered in 2003 but hopefully somebody knows the answer, sorry if this is a simple question but can i force the web browser to refresh the page after pressing the submit button. Basically my cgi perl form copies a different jpeg with teh same name into my public_html folder every time the form is submitted, therefore i have to click on the refresh button in IE to see the different picture. I have tried Code:<meta http-equiv="no-cache" but it doesnt seem to work in IE6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electriic ink 1 Report post Posted May 1, 2005 You want a refresh button on your page?That how I understand it, here's the code:<form action="index.cgi"><input type="submit" value="Change Image"></form>index.cgi is your page you want to refesh to. The button will take you to index.cgi creating a refresh effect thus causing the image to change. So simple.Is that what you wanted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spacemonkey 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 I haven't tested this, but you could try a little javascript in an "onclick" event on your submit button, like so: <input type="submit" value="Change Image" onclick="history.go(0)" />"history.go(0)" takes you to the current page in IE's history, in other words, it refreshes the page.You can make an image change its source automatically (without a page refresh) with javascript. If that is something you think would work for you, just say so and I'll post an example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 I am understanding the question as:after submit ==> see new page (with different jpg)is this right?If so, you can do <form method="POST" action="run your script to submit" name="myform" ><input type="hidden" name="name of another function that redirects" value="the secondary file"> And on "the secondary file" you can do <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1"> This will refresh the secondary file's instruction in 1 second. This is useful if you enabled cookies and it needs to be forced refresh.You can adjust the seconds or not include it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
