197509 - Reloading during form submission submits and resets form with filled-in values

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 819648

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Nicholas Allen]

WinXP 0312 cvs trunk

I was adding a cc to a bug and accidentally reloaded right after submission. 
The submission completed successfully and the reloaded page still had all of the
form contents filled in.  I think the form should keep the contents only if the
submission doesn't happen and reset the form if submission was successful.

Steps:

Fill in form.
Submit form and reload during submission.

Expected:

Form information retained if reload was before submission.
Form information cleared if reload was after submission.

Actual:

Form information retained and form submitted.

This sounds a lot like Bug 46845, especially if the form was submitting to the
same URL that was used to draw the form.

I have this bug also with Firefox 1.03 and 1.5 on Fedora 3.  After submitting the form I refresh the page, which reexecutes the CGI program associated with the form.  The CGI program has a blank value as the defsault form value, but Mozilla displays the submitted value.  IE 6 works fine.
