ASP page being executed twice...is it a bug? 3

[vias]

I am using an HTML form to post data to an Access database through IE browser, but when a user enters info into the database I am getting the info twice although the user only submits once.

It's not that the data is being written twice
but it looks like the the ASP page is being executed
twice. All the data is the same except the password field which is randomly generated in the ASP page. This shows that the page is twice executed.

I am thinking this is some sort of bug in IE or IIS.

Has anybody com across this problem?

it's probably your page! ;-)

are you using javascript &quot;form.submit()&quot; and allowing the <form> tag to submit too?

show us the page html

Here is part of the code with the form name and the action.
In fact it is 'signup2.asp' which is being executed twice.

<form name=FormSignUp method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;signup2.asp&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return validate()&quot;>

<input type=hidden name=&quot;from&quot; value=&quot;<%=Request.Form
(&quot;from&quot%>&quot;>



If you need more code, I can post it.

Thanks in anticipation.

Your not submitting in your validate function, are you?
If so then you will be getting a double submit as jemminger mentioned above.

Is it possible your executing the insert statement to the database twice?

Sorry I should explain that last comment, I was thinking along the lines of, if you had a function to handle the database insertion it might be possible that your calling it in two locations acidentally, I doubt this is the case, but thought it worth asking.

vias,

show us your function &quot;validate()&quot;



=========================================================
try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }

Jeff,

Here is the function:


function validate(){
if (isName() && isFullName() && emailCheck() && isBDate() && isCity() && isCountry()){
document.FormSignUp.submit();
}
else
return false;
}

 

[onpnt]

function validate(){
if (isName() && isFullName() && emailCheck() && isBDate() && isCity() && isCountry()) {
document.FormSignUp.submit();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

that's probably not it but this is the correct syntax

now that I read the entire posts, your function is not correct. take out the submit() function as Tarwn states. This function is only for submiting the form dynamically form a button or href etc.. when not using the submit type.
so
function validate(){
if (isName() && isFullName() && emailCheck() && isBDate() && isCity() && isCountry()) {
document.FormSignUp.submit(); <--take it out
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
