Avoiding multiple request at a time

[Selva Varadhan]

Hi

Scenario :
In my application, i have the page, contains two buttons like Previous and Next button.

User Action:

[1] User clicks Next button (Submit Action )
[2] Before the response reached the Browser, user clicks previous button.

Issue :
This kind of action some time leads to inconsistant stage.
How to handle the user action, when one request is in processing stage.I don't want to disable the button.

Plz proivde some solution to handle this situation

Regards,

how about a javascript method that is called by the onclick handler of the html:submit

<script type="text/javascript">
function validate() {
    var formSumitted = false;
    if (formSubmitted == false) {
      formSubmitted = true;
      return true;
    }
    return false;
}
</script>

this requires the client to have javascript enabled, and that the page to be reloaded between when submits are clicked. (or some other means to reset the formSubmitted flag).
