request occurs twice

[Tom]

The asp page I developed works fine on my development machine and local IIS.
When I load the page from the production server console, using an older
version of IE, the page executes twice. I modified my variables with
javascript to verify that the request is being sent twice from the client. I
further proved this by accessing the production page from my development
machine, and it works fine.
This has never happened to me before. How can I figure out why the page is
being sent twice from and older IE, and are is there a nice work-around?

My ugly work around is to just modify my variables(javascript) after I
submit so the second submit does not do anything.

TIA

Tom

IE on a server?

ASP has nothing to do with browsers like IE.

I would check for any AutoPostback attributes.

I would also make sure that all hrefs, img src, and other references to
external urls are not missing. I can't remember the details but something
along those lines produced that behaviour for me once.

Jed,

Thanks for your thoughts. I think I found the error of my ways, I just got
thrown off track because it worked on one browser and not on another.
The problem was that I was using input type image to trigger a procedure
which did the submit. I just discovered that the default behavior of input
type=image is to do a submit, so that was where the extra submit came from.
Thanks for your help!!
