Hi all,
I am using webmacro to develop a (small) web-based application.
I am facing a problem in my application. The problem occurs when the 
user re-submits a request, using one of the following methods:

1. reloading result page using Refresh/Reload browser button,
2. clicking Back and then Forward browser buttons,
3. returning back to HTML FORM after submission and clicking Submit 
button on the form again.

Browsers usually, display a warning message when the same POST request 
is about to be resent to the server. But the message is too technical 
and obscure for an average user. Also, some browsers do not ask for 
confirmation at all.
Is it possible to get rid of this kind of inconvenience?
Is there any hint you can give me for this phenomenon?
Can webmacro handle this?
Any source code would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Nikos Papadakis
