I have a page which allows the user to send emails. After they click the
submit button, I display a confirmation message. However, if the user clicks
the browser's Refresh button once the confirmation message is displayed, the
email is sent a second time (or a third, fourth, fifth, etc.). What can I do
to prevent the Refresh button from resending the email? Thanks.

Nathan,
You could set a session varaible that once the email was sent the session
variable would be sent and you would add a wrapper to check for a value in
the session variable before sending emails.
If they hit the refresh button does that cause a postback...I'm not sure.
If not, then you can simply check if the request is a postback...if it is
send the email...else dont.

Maybe Response.Redire ct? That will flush out your POST headers to prevent
the submit from happening repeatedly

This is the approach we use. It works perfectly.

Nathan,
You can try to set a session variable that tells that the post has been

Session variables, database flag, cookies - since the web is stateless,
you'll need some sort of mechanism to track when the last request occured
and if the current request is valid. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I have a small (hopefully!) problem. I have two buttons on my web page and when button A is clicked, the code behind takes about 3 seconds to execute. While it's executing though, I don't want the user to be able to click button B. What I have found happens is that if user clicks button B while button A is still executing, the code behind button B will start executing straight after the code under A has finished, and there is no page...

This works fine if the user clicks the button as they are

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
