enableviewstate="false"

[10 weber]

I wrote enableviewstate="false" in a <form> tag, but FF doesn't restart the form's data on postback (e.g. the <input type="checkbox" checked="checked" /> doesn't get checked back after 'unchecking' it and restarting the page).?

I don't think "enableviewstate" is actually a valid attribute. It's probably proprietary to whichever browser it works in.

What can I use, then?

When you reload a page, firefox tends to keep the information just in case you didn't want to lose it. I suppose that can be changed somewhere in the browser settings. You can try to detect if it's checked when the page loads, using Javascript.

I prefer not to ask users to change their settings, and using JS will significantly increase loading time (the page contains hundreds of inputs). Are you sure there's nothing to change that?

Not as far as I know. Plain HTML can't do anything about that.

It is possible using a high level language such as VB, C++, C#

Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)   DataBind()   ' Set EnableViewState to false to disable saving of view state    ' information.   myControl.EnableViewState = False   If Not IsPostBack Then	  display.Enabled = False   End If End Sub

EnableViewStateHope this helps some.dink

But a solution of that sort would only work for Internet Explorer and would require each client installing some kind of extension.

As far as I can tell, the whole thing must be executed on an ASP.NET server. I'm not sure what the outputted HTML looks like.
