Hi:
I am using a server with the following info: Apache/1.3.11 (Unix)
mod_perl/1.24 secured_by_Raven. 5.7 Generic_106541-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,
Ultra-5_10.

I have developed a program which reads a flat file, processes the data,
prints out the rows of data, a counter then adds up the rows and produces a
Total field. The total field is then set to zero and the loop continues
until the end of the program, where a Grand Total is printed.

On the initial running of the .cgi script it works fine producing the proper
results. But, if I then press the refresh button on Internet Explorer
(generally within 5 seconds), the total field does not clear. My program
starts adding up the data again with a starting number at my final total
value before the refresh. This continues every time I press the refresh
button until I wait over five seconds. Then all is well and my program is
cleared.

Can anyone explain to my why this is happening and what I need to do to
correct it?

Thanks,
Michael Manning
