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

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?

I haven't tested this, but you could try a little javascript in an "onclick" event on your submit button, like so:

CODE

"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.

Sorry, it refreshes only the active frame

Try this..

CODE

<head>

  <script language="javascript">

   function refreshpage()
   {
      window.location.reload();
   }

  </script>

</head>

<body>

  <form action="" method="" name="" onsubmit="refreshpage();">
   <input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">
  </form>

</body>

</html>

I am understanding the question as:
after submit ==> see new page (with different jpg)
is this right?

If so, you can do

HTML

And on "the secondary file" you can do

HTML

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.

Javascript code for Page Refresh
Refresh Web Page

The code does work wonderfully.
Though I am a novice, I could add the code to my Web Page:
Http://www.Irtsa.Net/dlqb-01.Htm

And it worked wonderfully well.
Thanks and keep it up!
