No refresh

[Anon]

Hi
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask for this but, here goes 🙂

Im making a shopping site for a company, and have found out that if the admin of the site uses the "browser refresh" he could really mess things up by posting the data again.

Is there any way i could deny the admin to use the refresh button ? Maybe by javascript or something?.

Help with this would really be appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

Well you could set a cookie, if he trys to sumbit and the cookie is already set, ie hes already submitted, generate an error.

I use this kinda system to stop double submits.

If you want to go via Javascript, do it all in a new window in which they have to submit the data, don't allow a toolbar in this window so they can't refresh, they also can't go back or anything unless you use further JS to generate a link for this.
