My first thought is...disable the submit button after its mashed

what type of user disables JavaScript? Would that type of user go
'mash the button crazy', does it really matter then? If so, could
use Flash(read Flex). Aside from that, maybe some sort of random
key deal that you could test server side, if the key is inprocess,
do nothing, ow process. But the upload issue might still be there
as this occurs before your CFM processing does. I might re-factor
the UI putting document uploads on a separate view from the data
input.
hope the rambling helps... :)

I'm working on an application where a form is submitted along with
various attachments (doc, pdf, xls, etc). Apparently users are
submitting the same request several times and I've been asked to
address this issue. At first thought, it seemed quick and simple to
me, but as I've started working on it I can't decide exactly how to
handle the attachments in associated with the form in the most
efficient way.
That brings me here. I was looking for suggestions on how to handle
the attachments while I run validation on the db to see if the input
from the form already exists in the db. It seems like something
that would be perfect for AJAX to handle, but my AJAX skills are
virtually nonexistent. So, without using AJAX (or if you can break
it down using AJAX for a novice) how would you handle the situation?
The main issue I'm having, is that if I do the validation after the
form submission, CF is assigning a temp directory to my attachment
file. So what is submitted as this: "C:\Documents and Settings
\JHoward\Desktop\PO Request mods.doc" ends up as this after
submission and validation: "C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\servers\coldfusion
\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp13963.tmp " and then when I pass
it to the CFFILE, it tells me the file doesn't exist.
I'm really just looking at the different ways other people would
handle this situation to try and decide so any input would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
