How to stop Safari from reloading after getting an internet connection back?

Hi,

If I am using Safari on example an iPad with internet connection, I then minimize safari and go to iPad settings, turn the wifi off and then open up Safari again I get a pop up saying that there's no internet connection and the page doesn't try to reload. I then go back to settings, turn wifi on and go back to Safari, now the page immediately reloads and I wonder how I can stop this? I only want it to submit if I click a certain button.

Is this something that's easy to do with jQuery?

Thanks in advance

A:

This is a memory issue; Safari will drop your page if the device runs low on memory.

There's nothing you can do about it.

But like I said if I don't have an internet connection I can still use the form and insert data into the local database and once I get connection back I can transfer all that data to a remote server. However, If I do have an internet connection when I open up safari it reloads the page and submit all the rows in the database which I don't want (until the user is done with all the input).

I'm pretty sure that's just a coincidence that it's running out of memory when it reconnects.

If you close all other Safari tabs and reboot the iPad (hold down the power button), does it still happen?

yeah every time you open up safari it tries to reload whatever was the last page. If you have internet connection (wifi on) it reloads, if you don't you get a pop up saying no internet connection and the page doesn't reload but you can still use it locally.

I guess it's ok if it's reload but I don't want it to submit the form on page reload, only if the save button is clicked. Maybe that makes it a bit easier.

You should use a POST-Redirect-GET pattern.
