[FX.php List] preventing refresh from rePOSTing?

[Bob Patin]

I don't know of a standard way, but you might write some code that  
does a duplicate check before writing the record; send some sort of  
unique identifier with your POST, and then a dupe record couldn't be  
created...

Off the top of my rather bald head,
