The first time the page is loaded, the variable, let's say "i" will not be there so auto refresh with i=1. But from now on, if you have i=1 the data will not be accepted.</p> <p>What is your server side based on? PHP/ASP?</p> Fri, 19 Apr 2002 18:02:13 +0000 Artur comment 1107334 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-side-scripting/browser-refresh#comment-1107208 <p>Well, there's OnUnload and OnBeforeUnload (IE only). I don't think OnUnload will work in this case, and OnBeforeUnload is going to give you an annoying alert box that you can't get rid of.</p> <p>Probably the simplest way is to have some sort of server-side variable (session/database/cookie) that you store a counter in, then if they try to submit the form again you do a response.redirect to another page.</p> Thu, 18 Apr 2002 11:57:41 +0000 Peter J.
