RE: [PHP] no-resubmit on reload/refresh

Javascript? (I know it's generally horrible, but it's good for this sort of thing) Stick this in your <head>...</head>: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--Begin var submitcount=0; function jsCheck() { if (submitcount == 0) { submitcount++; return true; } else { alert("This request has already been submitted, please wait while it is processed."); return false; } } //End--></script> And call it from your form like this: <form name="myform" action="whatever" method="post" onSubmit="return jsCheck()"> Voila.

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 ********************************************************************** 'The information included in this Email is of a confidential nature and is intended only for the addressee.
