Duplicate Submission Page 2
This page shows how many you've ordered and also demonstrates the reload problem.
You have ordered widgets.
The Reload problem: This page has no protection against reloads.
Try choosing Reload in your web browser (in IE it's called Refresh) and you will find that more widgets are ordered!
The browser has simply resubmitted the request that led to this page, and that request was for more widgets.
Warning or no warning?
If you got here by a POST operation, which is what Submit, LinkSubmit and ImageSubmit do,
then the browser will probably warn you before Reloading, but it won't stop you.
If you got here by a GET operation, which is what DirectLink does, then there won't even be a warning!
The Back button. Even more sinister is when a user comes back to this page with the
web browser's Back button and innocently chooses Reload. They will inadvertently be ordering more
widgets.
