  • Tiny suggestion for IE7 - <Enter> in address bar should result in HTTP GET refresh

    A little gripe I have with IE when doing ASP.NET development is that when you've tested a page (with some PostBack), fix or add something and recompile, you'd usually want to refresh your page without re-posting, so not performing the postback. When pressing Enter in the address bar, nothing happens. The expected behaviour would be for the browser to perform a HTTP GET request for the current URL in the address bar. Pressing F5 obviously performs a re-post. Maybe the Cancel button on that dialog asking to re-post should perform a HTTP GET?

    And yes, I know this already exists in FireFox.

    What do you think? Surely I'm not the only one who finds this a pain in the backside...
