Clicking Refresh Button Resubmits Form

Nathan Sokalski

I have a form that submits data to a database. If I click the browser's
refresh button after submitting the form once, the form is submitted a
second time. How can I avoid this problem? Thanks.

Nathan,

You could send the results page a response.redire ct or go to a different
page with a meta refresh. Either way, you need to get the client machine to
a page that wasn't produced by submitting form data. So the logic would be:

Client posts form data on submit.

Server processes data and stores results for future display (if necessary)
in a session variable or elswhere.

Server sends client as the result of the form post a redirect or meta
refresh which sends client to a new page that wasn't produced via posted
data.

Would the Page.IsPostback work for you?

I tried the Page.IsPostback () and it doesn't help. If I use the condition
Not Page.IsPostback () then I can't submit at all, and if I use
Page.IsPostback () it still gives me the resubmitting problem with the
refresh button.

This will not work, as refresh resends the last request. A POST thus
stays a POST...

use Redirect to give output that means with redirect the output page
will be different and now postback will not be there
