Duplicate entry issue with On-line form WebPart in 8.1

Divyanshu Gupta asked on January 30, 2015 14:37

Hi! I am facing the issue(duplicate entry) when i refresh the page after submit the form using f5 or ctrl+f5.

I am addressing here the exact situation step by step:
1-I create the form using Form Builder with two controls TextBox(*) and FileUpload,
select "clear form" Option of "After the form is submitted:" property inside Form settings.
2-Implement On-line form web part on a page in blank application.
3-Finally submit the form.

First time its working fine but when i refresh the page , browser is asking for "Confirm Form Resubmission" with Continue and Cancel option. As I click on "Continue" button it Resubmit the form with last entry.

I have tried a lot but not sure what could be the possible reason for resolving this issue.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

If you've submitted the form and you press f5 or ctrl+f5 it will post the form back and resubmit your data. This is not a deficiency of Kentico, it would do this for any asp.net application you would use or create.

If you simply want your users to continue to re-enter data then in your form setting redirect them to the current page with the form on it. You could also pass a URL parameter like ?resubmit=true and place another editable text webpart on the page template and set the visibility based on the querystring value. This way you can display a "Thank you for submitting your data. Submit another." type message.
