How to prevent form resubmission

rhliberman 19 Aug, 2014
In my application, the contact form appears at the bottom of all pages.

When submitting a form, ChronoForms changes the page URL to page_url + "?chronoform=form_name&event=submit".

The problem is that if the user refreshes the page the form is submitted again - however, now all the fields are blank.

What I'd like to do is show a thank you message (I know how to do this) but change the page URL to remove the "?chronoform=form_name&event=submit".

Is this possible?

What you really need is some form security so that the form is not resubmitted when the page is refreshed, please check the "anti spam" section in the wizard, you can use the "Check token", "server side validation", "captcha", "security question"..etc

You will find hints on the FAQs section and on our forums here!
