The redirection to itself actually works. I wonder if there are any flaws in this process. It seems to be more of a work around instead of an actual correct way of doing things. What do you think? spider man <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: My script has HTML code generated at the at the file. There is an "if" condition on the param() values at the beginning for processing. Regardless of the "if" condition, the code to generate HTML code is executed at the end. So the form is http://..../..../form.pl and when you submit the form it doesn't redirect and run the same script again for the HTML. So you will see http://.../.../form.pl again. Would redirect to another URL and then back to the script form do the trick? John Brooking wrote: When you say that after the text is processed, the same form is regenerated back to user, how are you doing that? Via a redirect? Another leading question would be what is the URL shown in the address bar the first time you enter the form, versus subsequent times. Is it the same? If, on subsequent times, the URL shown is still your processing script, that would explain why Refresh appears to submit it again.
Come to think of it, that's similar to a problem I've noticed with one of my scripts. Unfortunately for both of us, I haven't bothered debugging it yet! :-) - John --- spider man wrote: > I got a simple form running on NT IIS web server. > Everything works fine.
