If you ever come across a situation where your page goes to the same action twice for no apparent reason then make sure that there’s no background=”#” anywhere in your page.
I found that if there’s background=”#” then the page tends to submit the same request twice!! Call it a bug in html… Not sure about that. But the code is as below:
<table background=”#”>
<tr>
<td>
This piece of code in your page will cause the request to be submitted twice!!
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Please leave a comment if you have anything to add to this
