How to prevent re-post caused by pressing browser refresh in ASP classic

I am new in ASP.

I have a submit.asp page => thankyou.asp page. when pressing browser refresh, it reload and re-send a new data submissions. It caused me getting a lot of multiple submission.

I'm trying to add this in, its work , but little problem still when pressing the leaving button , thankyou.asp page refresh and loading a fresh new entry. 

    <script type="text/javascript">

      window.onbeforeunload = function() {
      return "You are leaving now! See you again !";
      }

    </script>

I'm asking for help on how to redirect to another page when browser refresh.

Thanks!

Michael

As Faisal says, redirecting back to the same page will prevent the form resubmitting on refresh.

This can be done in the following way:

<%
If Request.Form("submit") <> "" Then

    'form processing goes here

    Response.Redirect "thankyou.asp"
End If
%>

Where "submit" in Request.Form("submit") relates to the name attribute of

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!" />

in submit.asp

Change it so if the user submits, you process the form, then redirect back to the page itself. This way when the user refreshes, it won't submit the form again
