Clear address bar of data

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to clear the address bar
of a browser after you are taken to a webpage and returned to the
original page. For example I have a list of potential clients on a
web page with a link to a detail page, I click the link go to the
detail page and make an edit. I have the redirect back to the
orginal page and now if I was to click another clients I get an
error because in the address bar I still have data from the
previous detail page. It looks like
"deleteaccesstomofsystem2.asp?ID=11&ID=10" As you can see it
keeps concatinating the ID= whatever you click next. Problem is you
get an error.
Thanks,
Lenny

$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
Where your YOUR_PAGE is replaced with whatever your master
page is.
Simply delete the if{ } segment to leave:
$insertGoTo = "YOUR_PAGE.php";
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));

  • How do i clear address bar history?

    I tried Ctrl+Shift+Delete and selected all the options and set the time range to everything but it still auto fills the address bar when i type.

    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
    #click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
    #highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
    #press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry
    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Clear address bar suggestions

    I have this annoying problem that I so far can't find a solution for. I have been using Firefox for ages, and until recently this wasn't a problem. In the past, when I wanted to clear history (all history whatsoever) I could just hit the "Clear recent history" and then cross the "Browsing & download history" and "Form & Search history" and select everything in the dropdown-menu. Now this doesn't do the trick! Firefox still remembers which sites I have visited by suggesting them in the address bar. Let's say I'm visiting randomwebsite.com, and then clear the history as above. Then when I type in "ra" in the address bar, it will suggest randomwebsite.com. I can't find ANY ways to work around this, other than disabling the suggestions altogether, which is not what I want.
    I use Mac OS 10.9.2., Firefox 29.0.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Clearing address bar w/ safari

    I can't clear my address bar. I've cleared history, cleared cache, reset safari, unchecked boxes in auto fill under preference (and cleared the edit next to box). I use a new powerbook with tiger, HOW DO YOU CLEAR THE ADDRESS BAR????

    If you have cleared your history and cache and the sites are still appearing but you don't think they are bookmarks, run the following test:
    1. Close Safari.
    2. Go to the user name>Library>Safari folder.
    3. Drag the Bookmarks.plist file to your desktop.
    4. Open Safari.
    5. Before doing anything else, clear your cache & history.
    6. Type some addresses into the address window and see what pops up.
    7. Close Safari.
    8. Drag Bookmarks.plist from your desktop back to the user name>Library>Safari folder.
    9. Click on Replace to have your original bookmarks file replace the new, empty one created by Safari when you ran this test.

  • When I click on the firefox icon, "about home" or "about blank" appears in the address bar.

    about blank or about home is appearing in my address bar. How can I get it to read mozilla?

    Yes, it's normal behavior, but there is any add-on or any possibility that address bar would be empty when you click on home page button?
    It would be more comfortable if you didn't have to clear address bar.
    Thanks for help.

  • Can no longer enter data in the address bar {url Bar}, it correctly follows data from google search bar. It was a 1 month old installation so not a lot of complications

    I was not adding anything to Firefox. I Refused tool bars embedded in several application installs on this new computer. Was working fine. Then had a problem with Google search, restored default values and re-tooled Firefox. At this point all worked fine. Then my url, address bar changed color to the same color as the program shell, a grey brown as opposed to the white it was before. With the change in color it no longer allows me to change the data showing in the bar. I can not delete or add data. I used to add a url and navigate to the domain. Now I can not

    Greetings,
    TY for the reply, the information was enlightening to be sure. I never knew safe mode was an option with Firefox. I have so many tasks running that I didn't want to shut things down. What I did is turn off some of the last plug-ins I installed. That did not fix the problem at least in the first look. What happened next was very interesting none the less. I had a moment of mouse spastic wrist syndrome and accidentally moved a tab in such a way that it opened in a new window. The URL bar was white and editable. So I moved all my tabs to the new window and everything works as it should. I have restarted Firefox this morning and it came back with the bar editable and I am speechless to understand what I may have done to correct the problem if anything ??

    In my MacBook Pro(10.7.5), finder is crashing after logging in. It is showing crash report with Relaunch option, when i click on Relaunch option finder is working properly but i am unable to see Top bar(Apple logo, Date and Wifi etc... bar). Even in safari address bar, TextEdit not accepting any text means when type something not showing up and also i am unable operate any thing from keyboard. Plz help me…..

    One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
    Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

  • Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

    I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
    Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

    Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
    If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
    You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
    *SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
    <pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
    FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
    WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre>

  • Sometimes, when I click on a link, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link. Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg?

    Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
    Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?

    That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

  • Current address in address bar clears for no reason

    My address bar keeps clearing itself and I don't know why. I'll open up a page and once on that page the address at the top will just clear. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it clearly. But this prevents me from copying a url from the address bar if I want to send someone a link and when I use the arrow keys on my keyboard to scroll it ends up scrolling through my address bar history (even after I click on the page itself to make sure it'll scroll through the page). It's as if the second I open a page the address bar is automatically selected and cleared and I don't know why/how this would happen. Just to clarify, I can go on different pages, just once I am on them the url at the top disappears.

    This issue is most likely caused by an add-on or plugin.<br>
    To check if this is true, we need to start Firefox in Safe Mode.
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • When I expand the address bar it shows sites I have visited in the past, how can I clear this?

    When I go to my address bar and click on the small arrow to the right the bar expands to show sites I have visited in the past. The only problem is that these are sites I have visited a LONG time ago. I want to clear these sites and populate this drop down feature with more recent web sites I visit more frequently.

    Thanks so much! That was exactly what I needed. But I do have a follow up question; how is it that items end up in your location bar history?

  • Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

    Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:

  • Passing data through address bar

    hi all,
    I am implementing a forum application on the java studio creator, and Iam having a problem in getting data from the address from page to page.
    The problem is that i have a table containes records of table "data IDs" when you click on the data Id it will take you to another page and show you the data complete. Iam passing Data Id in the address bar, how could i get it in the other page.
    Best Regards.

  • My Tool Bar keeps changing, one minute I'll have features and not the next. URLs don't show in the Address Bar -- all of this started after the last up-date

    Since the most recent up-date of Firefox I've had buttons on the tool bar vanish and then return when I change web sites, etc. Too, the address bar does not show URLs a lot of time, especially after a search and I click to the link. I have to look under page properties to find the web address in order to link to pages later or even book mark them.
    Please email me @ [email protected]

    I noticed ''similar behavior'' on what I had thought to be modified pop-up windows. But I accidentally created a new window (tab tearing) and the new window did not have menu bar or tabs bar, but if I selected that window then it showed all toolbars and the original window the reduced set and can keep switching between the two to keep reversing which is which. Needless to say I can't duplicate it again. The location showed "Go to web" instead of the location on the new window, reload did not fix that, but creating a new tab did fix that upon return to the tab.

  • The address bar shows pages I have previously entered manually, and then cleared the history of all this pages and pages connected with it.

    1. I enter the page in the address bar (i.e.: cnn.com)
    2. I click on some of the links in the page - the address of the main page is still the same (i.e.: i click on some of the articles on cnn.com)
    3. I search the history and delete/clear all pages that have same main page (i.e.: all pages with address cnn.com - main page and all articles,...)
    In the address bar in ff 14 I can still find the entered page (i.e.: cnn.com), in ff 13 that didn't happen - when clearing the history that page was gone in address bar too. This happens mainly with the pages i enter manually in the address bar.

    After clearing the history normally, you can try to exit and restart Firefox, ideally with a single tab and check before visiting the site. If the site appears, then it could have been bookmarked. You can also try to check the bookmarks for the site or its sub domains.
    If the problem persists, you can also check in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile].
