Re: admin add view saves two entries on submit

Did some more testing now.. Some really weird behaviour in my admin add view. If I add an "Egg" object (see above) with an e value of "test1" it works (just adds once) but if I add with an e-value of "test 1" (extra space), two entries are added. Two requests are sent: [22/Jul/2009 11:13:44]

Ok, this is probably just a browser issue/quirk with IE6. I tried the admin add view via Firefox 3.5 and it works as expected.. So my guess, the combination of IE6+devserver is the problem. Hopefully it wont happen when deployed on a real server :) /Ending monologue On 22 Juli, 11:19, JP
