Question

Basically, I would like to accomplish form submit on reload.

So I have the following code:

$('form').submit(function() {
     $(window).unbind("beforeunload");
});

$(window).bind("beforeunload", function() {
     $('#disconnectform').submit();
});

Basically, I want the disconenctform only submitted on reload, not on submit. However, $('#disconnectform').submit() doesn’t seem to work form. Any ideas why? How can I achieve what I want?

Answer 1

On reload, the browser does not maintain session data. By consequence, when you hit refresh, the data in the form may not be saved. Most browsers will give you a “form resubmission” warning when this is attempted. Some browsers do not handle this situation at all.

This does not answer your question, because I believe that you need to re-think your design.

Good luck
