[Genome] Resetting the browser in a custom track file ?

[Galt Barber]

I do not know of a browser-reset or custom tracks-reset.

However, looking at the form in the Manage Custom Tracks page,
it looks like you could send this as a GET or PUT and it
would remove the custom track made previously on the session:

NAME="hgct_do_delete" VALUE="delete"
NAME="hgct_del_ct_UserTrack" VALUE=on
NAME="boolshad.hgct_del_ct_UserTrack" VALUE="1"
NAME="hgsid" VALUE="105662668"

i.e.
http://server/path/cgi-bin/hgCustom
?hgsid=105662668
&hgct_do_delete=delete
&hgct_del_ct_UserTrack=on
&boolshad.hgct_del_ct_UserTrack=1

you are plug in the correct hgsid cart session id,
and the custom track name (if it is not just "UserTrack").

This will cause the system to delete the custom track
from your session cart settings.
