tracking mouse right click - refresh option

Hi all,

I am developing an application wherein I am having a form contains a checkbox. User will select/check the checkbox and press the submit button. This action will update the database after necessary validations.

My problem is, if I/user press right mouse click in the browser and asks to refresh the page, browser consider this as a new request and forwards the old query again. This leads to certain undesired effects in the database. Could any one of you let me know how to track the mouse right click - refresh option so that I can prevent my applications from unnecssary updates. Solutions can be in VB Script also.

Hope you understand my problem.

Thanks and regards
baskar

<html>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- begin right_click trap
document.onmousedown=click;
if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); window.onmousedown=click;
function click(e)
{
if (navigator.appName == 'Netscape')
{
if (e.which != 1)
alert("Hi! How are you?");return false;
}
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
if (event.button != 1)
alert("Hi! no right click");return false;
}
}
//-- end>
</script>
<body>
No Right click
</body>

This prevents the right click menu display, but i don't think this is the right solution for your problem, as there is an option to the user to refresh page by pressing F5(for IE) and Ctrl+R (for NN) and they can even click on Refresh/Reload button on the browser.

Good Luck...:)

In fact, you can't do this. The only thing you can do is disable user right click only.
