i don't like javascript. It's pain in the ass to get this working on more than IE and Netscape. Btw, to get it working on IE and Netscape is annoying enough already imo.So what i would do is registering some sort of variable in the session, that shows you if the page has been submitted already. On the page that processes the form, you register this variable to the session, if it isn't registered already. if it is registered already, you simply ignore the request
That's the easiest way, but as long as the session remains, the user wouldn't be able to submit this form again. So if you want the user to be able to submit this form again but preventing him from submitting the same data again, you have to do a little more than what i mentioned above.
