You're right: We checked the Apache log and the user just double clicked. But Netscape seems to have a bug that cannot be handled with the JavaScript solution: If you have your security settings in a way that he comes up with a messagebox before sending out POSTs, he sometimes "overhears" the first click in that box and only reacts on the second click. Strangely he then also sends out 2 requests. How does the JavaScript to catch this kind of doble clicks look like?

Is there a simple way to handle this server-side (I can imagine the hard ways!), or does anyone know that the client side still has holes I have not witnessed?
