Form/JavaScript not working on IE 11 with error DOM7011

Question

The register button for our ASP.net form, which uses the __postback function stopped working on IE 11, from the developer console, it shows:

DOM7011: The code on this page disabled back and forward caching. For more information, see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=291337.

Does anyone know how to get around with this? What is this caching thing and why does it mess up forms. I seen similar complaints about this from others.

Solution 1

This issue occurs if the server sends a "Cache-control:no-store" header or sends a "Cache-control:no-cache" header.

Solution 2

This error occurred for me when using window.location.reload(). Replacing with window.location = window.location.href solved the problem.

Solution 3

I faced the same issue before. I cleared all the IE caches/browsing history/cookies & re-launch IE. It works after caches removed.

You may have a try. :)

Solution 4

I have seen exactly the same error, also with IE11. In my case the issue occurred when user clicked <button> element, which was inside <form> tags.

The issue was remedied, by placing the <button> outside of <form> tags.

I got this when my page sent "Cache-Control: public, max-age=0". I'm assuming it's because of the max-age=0.

if you are not able to locate "Tools", enable Command bar by right click on the header of IE11 window

This answer is the explanation of the problem but the solution?

The server is sending a Cache-control header, so the best solution is to change the server. Secondarily, you may be able to make a different request for the same content. For example, add "?random=" + Math.random() to each of your links.
