OPAC: My e-Shelf, refreshing the list of titles results in duplicate entries

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 21

Problem Symptoms:
* When refreshing the short list of titles that have previously been transferred to My e-Shelf, the titles are displayed twice in the My e-Shelf list.
* The same is happening when refreshing the full view of a record after sending it to My e-Shelf

Cause:
Use of back button; configuration in HTML (form method=get)

Resolution:
the duplication of records in the e-shelf may be related to using the browser's back button.
This can be avoided by changing the following line in
$alephe_root/www_f_lng/myshelf-note-full:

<form method=get
name=form1
action="&server_f">

to

<form method=post
name=form1
action="&server_f">

Change the same in $alephe_root/www_f_lng/myshelf-note-short.

Afterwards records in my e-shelf won't be duplicated after using the back button. Instead the back button will bring you to a "This page is expired" message.
