Duplicate Submissions - Squiz Online Forms

(Ravi) #1

Hi there,

We have issues on the online form that we get so many duplicate submissions. We used captcha field, it’s quite reduced after that. but we still getting the duplicate submissions.

Is there any other solution to fix this issue?

thanks.

I’m guessing you get them when people submit the form, and then hit refresh on the browser.

One way to avoid that is to make the form do an ajax submit instead, or iframe it in. Alternatively you could redirect them to another page after they see the thank you page so that the last page request isn’t a POST, but instead it’s a GET.

You could potentially also put a submission time limit as well, or create a text field with some clever custom validation that forces the user to load the first page of the form again before being able to refresh-submit it.
