Hi,
If a web page has _javascript_ called on a submit button, like
', and the function does some stuff, then does a
form.submit(), and DOES NOT REMEMBER TO RETURN FALSE, then the browser is
supposed to go ahead and submit the form. So, something like that could
possibly happen, but only if the _javascript_ is incorrectly written, as far
as I know. Although, once a submit is done, it would be a gray area as to
whether the form data would still be available for the second submit.
I think this thread discuss the problem .. like they say I started
having the problem with some version of IE6 but not IE5.

They don't give the answer but when they talk
here is what it might be:
<input class="input" type="submit "
name="Submit" value="Submit" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="">"_javascript_:submitit();">
if you use _javascript_ to submit the form
do not use a button type of submit.........it will submit twice
correct code
<input class="input" type="button "
name="Submit" value="Submit" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="">"_javascript_:submitit();">
Like SCassidy said .. maybe returing FALSE will solve the problem ..
but I remember having tried this without success...
It's all what I know :-)
I use _javascript_ in forms all the time to interact with a PostgreSQL
database, and don't have any issues like this with debugged code, using
IE6.

Hi,
I have seen IE posting request twice to the server when you post using a
button that use _javascript_. Per example, if you have a submit button
and call a _javascript_ that actually post the form... IE will still do
the post attached to the submit button. So you will have 2 submits....
It's stupid but it's true.
It's happen on some version of IE6 I think .. not all for what I remember.
You can search the web for the solution ... I don't remember what I did
or if I actually did something to solve the problem.

P.S.: This is quite OT for the postgresql mailing list .. you don't think ?

I am having a problem when a browser dumps data into a table.
When the browser is Firefox , it works perfect; when the browser is
IE, it dumps 2 entries into the table just thousandths of a second apart.
What could be causing this? Is this an issue with IE, Apache or Postgres.
Thanks in advance for any help.
