how to avoid confirm form resubmission?

Question

is there any way to avoid confirm form re submission? The page that you're looking for used information that you entered. Returning to that page might cause any action that you took to be repeated.Do you want to continue? Using javascript Or jquery function any kind of example to avoid confirm form re submission?

function getComboB(sel) { 
var invoices=document.getElementById("invoices");
var input_val = document.getElementById("invoices").value; 
invoices.action = "searchinvoices.php?invoices="+input_val+"";
invoices.submit();
} 


<table width="371" border="2">
<form name="invoices" id="invoices">
<tr>
<td width="160"><font class="font2">&nbsp;Search By Invoice's Number:</font></td>
<td width="198"><input type="text" class="input_field" style="background:#FFF !important;" name="invoices" id="invoices" onchange="getComboB();" ></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>

It seems that this is a feature that the browser automatically implements as a security feature. This is not easily bypassed, because it's part of the browser software. My best two suggestions would be to redirect the user using a header (if you can use some PHP on the page):

header("Location: http://example.com");

Or to see if Chrome has a flag for it. In other browsers, you may be out of luck. Cheers!
