    Hello everybody,

    This may be a silly question, but I'm still kind of new at this: After a user has clicked on the Submit button for a given form and is then displayed the confirmation page, how do I prevent said user from clicking the refresh button and submitting the data a second time? I tried expiring the page, but then IE just pops up a messagebox asking if you would like to submit the data again. Anybody understand what I mean?

    Thanks in advance,

    JMik

    You could use a session variable, that only lets them post once. Or you could redirect them to another page before they have time to reload it.

    Just some suggestions
