    You cant force anything on Users browser – techie_28 Sep 12 '12 at 10:30
  • WHY?! Refreshing is a fundamental function of a browser. Work *with* it, not against it. Also hint: F5 is only the Windows convention for "refresh". There are many more platforms out there and there's always a toolbar button that does the same. – deceze Sep 12 '12 at 10:33
  • Hai guys, actually my problem is whenever I refresh the form it is submitted again and it is throwing the exception, that's way I want to disable the refresh in my application. – Y.V. NARASIMHA RAO Sep 12 '12 at 10:43
  • this is not the way to fix your problem. on submission of the form, make immediately a redirect to another page, thus refreshing the target page won't cause you problems anymore. Another solution is to ignore repeated submissions. – armel Sep 12 '12 at 10:53

Classic XY problem. You're asking for a solution to a problem to a non-solution to a problem that needs to be solved in a completely different way.

The correct pattern is called POST-redirect-GET. After each POST request (a form submit) you redirect the user to a different or even the same page, which causes a regular GET request. When the user then refreshes the page, a regular GET request will be issued without resubmitting the form.

See Trying to understand the Post/Redirect/Get design pattern (implemented with PHP) and similar questions for more details.

With jquery

$(document).keypress(function(e){
  if(e.keyCode==116){
    return false;
   }
}
