IE 5.5 submits form twice on one click!

[rlingen]

I have a simple shopping cart that does nothing more than build a file of chosen products. On checkout, the file is read and formatted into an email (all via perl scripts). It worked perfectly until some of my clients moved to IE 5.5. Now suddenly, IE 5.5 is putting every selection in the file twice - it's the only browser that does this. (The browser is reported along with the order).

The form uses the POST method, and here is the submit line (it uses an image rather than a submit button:

<input type=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;

border=0 name=&quot;Add to Shopping Cart&quot; value=&quot;Add&quot; OnClick=&quot;submit()&quot;></form>

Anybody got a solution for me, other than to suggest to my clients they trash 5.5 ? ;-)

Hello!- I finally found someone with the same frag
as I !!!!!!!

In fact, reading your post made me think of the
the biggest suspect, that is, the image submit button.

I have a shopping cart that frags in two places,
where there are image submit buttons... and only
with IE 5.5.....

I'll check back with you if I find a workaround,
and OF COURSE, I'd be hip to any you might have
unearthed.. I have haunted the Allaire site,
and most the posts there about IE 5.5 have to do
with session var's not holding due to threading
issues (not the case with my problem)

Hang in there ...
