erase query string without clientside redirect
Hello experts,
I would like to perform a server-side action from an asp that would get rid of the query string or the form passed in before it returned the results to the client browser. I know I can send javascript back to the browser that would perform the redirect, but I would prefer not to do that.
The reason for this is that I have the user submitting form information from page 1 via query string. This first action is accomplished via a javascript document.location.replace.
Any solutions would be most appreciated.

When you submit the information, set a session variable called session("submit"):
If session("submit") <> true then
'submit information
else
Response.write "Information has already been submitted!"
end if
session("submit") = true
That will prevent multiple submits...
If session("submit") <> true then
'submit information
else
Response.write "Information has already been submitted!"
end if
session("submit") = true
That will prevent multiple submits...
alorentz: Not always a viable option, what if someone genuinely enters 2 different records. The second one will not get inserted. To use that method you would have to wipe that session info each time page1 is loaded.
Ie
Session("Submit") = False
Ie
Session("Submit") = False
Of course you would need to set session("submit") = false....
The answer was to stop refresh resubmit problems. When the form is accesed again, session("submit") would need to be set to false.
Maybe I should have wrote that, but was hoping he/she would get the point...

I.e.
Page1 ->
posts to
AddToDB
This page does the addition in the DB
This page then redirects to Page 2 which displays conformation message that everytrhing went ok, or does a retreival from the DB of the data just inserted. Then user can refresh as often as nescessary cause the page isnt holding form data.
