I created a guestbook, in which users can add entries via an HTML form. After submitting data to the guestbook, some users refresh the page. All browsers I know resubmit the data. afterwards. Is there a way to tell the browser, that the data should not be resubmitted?
I used to have a redirect after sucessfully storig the data to the database. But, now I want to promt some additional information to the user, e.g. "Thanks for your entry entitled '...'.", or "A coy of the entry was sent to your e-Mail-Adress...". I really like to avoid adding all the values to GET-Parameters to be able to use the information after the forwarding.
Is there another way (without a forward!) to prevnt the browser from submitting the data again after the user click on the "refresh" button?
