I have a form which is submitted by a POST action. After submitting, the same page (updated though) returns with the form. (It's a messageboard) Now when someone refreshes/reloads the page they get the question if they want to resubmit the form. I don't want that. You get double posts this way. I know it is possible to check the input for any duplicates, but for example this guestbook http://pub.alxnet.com/guestbook?id=120611 (hope the id works) does it differently and your browser does NOT if you wnat to resubmit, it just doesn't do it. Anyone knows how this works (HTTP header maybe?) cheerz Bolke
