Thanks alot

<div>
actually it did not worked, since the F5 will submit the last request as it was, then the Javascript did not worked when click F5, so the event send as it was first time.<br />
I think the redirect page is best solution<br />
Thanks all.

Hello experts,<br />
<br />
The problem:<br />
We have a web application, and we are facing a problem with authentication of users as follows: if a user login successfully to the system and leaves the browser opened till his session expired, then if another person presses F5 the browser resends the last request which was a valid authentication request for the previous user and so the system will re-authenticate the user.<br />
Is there away to prevent the browser from caching the last request submitted by the user to prevent this problem?<br />
Note: I want to keep the F5 working on my web application.<br />
Thanks a lot.

Hello experts,

Thanks a lot.

Prevent F5 from repeating the last request

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
