Hi All,
Thanks for the replys.
The form is processed by my servlet and the user is directed to another page
(in this case a summary list of all of the data that they have entered).
The problem occurrs when they hit refresh on this summary page and the last
action was to add a new entry to there database, it looks like it is because
the URL still has the last request in it.
Is there any way of clearing this URL other than useing window.location.href
?
The unique token sounds like a good idea.
Thanks
Pete

Phil,
True. I should have not said "all client side". How about client side
validation?
Point being as weather to handle it more from the client or server. All
depends on application.
