Okay, I gotcha. The same script generates the form everytime. If it has some parameters, it processes them first, then regardless, it draws the form for the next time.
I think the browser is "working as intended". No matter what the current URL is, the "Refresh" button simply re-requests it, including any parameters that were included in the last request. That's just how it works. I've seen this lots of times with my own stuff. I think what you need to do is separate your form and your processing script. You should be able to still have the form page be a script of some sort, in case there is any data lookups and so forth to be done, but if it can be plain HTML and maybe a little client-side Javascript, all the better. Have the form call the script, which now does only the processing but no output, then have the script redirect back to the form page at the end. Then the "Refresh" button will repeat the request to show the form page only, and not the entire processing script.
