Bypass refresh behavior of Firefox

Question

How do you capture refresh button or event of Firefox browser using Javascript and imitate the behavior of IE when refreshing forms? Firefox refills the forms which destroys my ajax UI.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how IE behaves, but if you just want the form to be empty before your ajax UI does its work, you can clear the form as it reloads by using window.beforeunload.

Answer 2

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" autocomplete="off" action="http://www.example.com">
</form>
