That's actually a pretty complicated solution -- although if you need a solution that works server-side without the aid of javascript you're reather limited to something like that... I wonder if visually impaired users "double-click" form submit buttons the same as some sighted users... I wouldn't expect it, though it could happen. In general I wouldn't expect users who have javascript-disabled (either due to visual impairment or otherwise) to produce those impatient double-submits. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
