Take a look at the POST/Redirect/GET pattern.

This message appears whenever you reload a page that was received from an HTTP POST.
It appears because HTTP POSTs are intended to be non-repeatable.
For example, if you buy something online, the website will usually send an HTTP POST to its server saying that you spent X dollars. Without that warning, it would be possible for Firefox or IE to automatically reload the page, sending a second HTTP POST. This would tell the server that you spent X dollars a second time, and would make you very angry. Therefore, the browsers have that warning.

To get rid of it, change your page to an HTTP GET.

For example:

<form method="GET">

Alternatively, you can keep it an HTTP POST, and have the server send a redirect in response to the POST, telling the browser to send an HTTP GET to a separate page. This means that you don't have the risk of sending the request twice, as I described above.
