in reply to JavaScript and form submission

I'd approach the problem by not trying to prevent duplicate submissions, but to handle them in a smarter way.

Include an identifier in the form (using a hidden input). If a submission comes in with an identifier you've seen before, then treat it as an update to the existing data rather than new data.
