Re: double submit of forms

Thanks, the latest SVN checkout does resolve this.
BTW, I don't think there was any onclick code or
other javascript on that button on my page, I
don't know if you were thinking that there was.

Is there a timescale for the next release?

Httpunit 1.7 has the ability to react on onclick events properly where javascript is involved. This has led to a new handling of submits which is done in phases. The orchestration of the phases is important for avoiding double submits.

Please try out the latest Subversion trunk. I think we have fixed this already. If your case is different we will probably be able to also fix it quickly base on a JUnit Test.
>(example code attached, unfortunately not runnable w/o >my server)
For a Junit test we'd need a version of your code that contains the culprit javascript and is runnable on the pseudo-server used by the junit tests.

In the bugreport and patch section of the website you might also find some hints and pointers to subversion.
