Re: multiple post issue

The java page that is posted to does some processing and then redirects
to a html page.  Sometimes IE will post twice, sometimes three times.  A
sniffer watching the traffic shows IE does the first post and then
retrieves the images on the page again and repeats.  There is nothing
that comes back from Enhydra after the any of the post from IE. Other
browsers behave as expected.

Thanks
