Avoid resend

Warning message: To reopen this page Safari/Firefox must resend a form. This might result in duplicate purchases, comments, or other actions.

I am having this problem, leading to the fact that, if a user refresh their browser, the add to cart form is resending it leading to multiple element,

so if I say add to cart once, and then resfresh the browser without clicking on the add to cart button, I get the warning message above,

Any help please!

This is typical browser behavior when you are trying to reload a page that has been posted to. This is not specific to eCart or adding items to the cart, your browser will behave like this regardless of the site you are on. Whenever you reload a page that has posted you will post the info again, that is what the error message is warning you about. You should not be refreshing a page after a post unless you need to repost that information.
