Suppressing form resubmission dialog

Is there a way (using javascript or other means) to suppress the form resubmission dialog that pops up when a page containing post data is refreshed?

This is a common problem and the solution has a name: PRG

The page that receives the POST handles it and then redirects the client/browser to another page which is retrieved with a GET request. So if the client refreshes, they are not re-POSTing the data.

The popup shows before the content is loaded. So any Javascript will be executed after you clicked one of the buttons on the popup.

What you can do on the server side is redirecting to another page (with no POST data) after completing all your actions with the data.
