Page is not just "again displayed". Instead, previous form is
resubmitted to server. Browser shows warning because the page was
generated in response to POST. If it were GET, browser would reload
the page automatically. You can use redirection to separate form
submission and page rendering into two requests: POST for submission
and GET for rendering, thus avoiding form resumbission on page reload.

I don't think that preventing users from clicking Back of Forward
buttons is a good usability solution. Web applications are supposed to
support navigation buttons.
