Re: Avoiding user refresh of pages with forms

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there a way to key off of the data inserted? Like some unique value or set of values that you can do a quick lookup before you insert/update/delete again... Or you could venture into an AJAX style of submission keyed off of a button click then a refresh to a 'report' page, in which case no POST variables are actually passed to the report page, so refreshing it will just present the same data...

Is there a way to prevent a re-posting of the form data when a user
pushes the "refresh" button on the browser?

I have a page that has a form to enter credit's or debit's to a user
account.  The top of the page displays the users account history and at
the bottom is a form to add an adjustment. I just had a situation where
a user came in complaining that the database is out of control every
time I "REFRESH" the page the credit I put in gets added again and
again!!  He also claimed he was getting no warning message about that
which was of course false, he just didn't read it.

In any event, I need to make this more user proof.

Thanks,

Jeff
