Re: Single click generates 2 mouse clicks

What happens is this: when a registered user has lost his password, he clicks on a "Forgot Password" link on the website. The website then sends a "Reset Password Confirmation" e-mail to the user. This e-mail is only received once (so far, so good). In the e-mail, there is a link on which the user has to click in order to confirm that it was really him who asked for a new password.

Now: when the user clicks on this confirmation email, the website sends a new email with his new password. When the user clicks on this confirmation link from a Vista system, he will get 2 emails with 2 (different) new passwords. It is as if he clicked twice on the confirmation link. But he clicks only once.

When, however, the user has an XP or win2000 or server2003 system or any non-windows system) , he receives the email with the new password only once, so I presume that there is nothing wrong with the script itself and that the "double click" is some kind of Vista bug.

Thanks for your help on this annoying problem.
