Hi Martin,

Not too sure I understand.

This error is caused by a problem in a web page, when two totally different actions happen at the same time when the user performs an action (like clicking on a button).

This particular problem needs to be fixed in the web page, and not in Firefox.

Hey Mark, didn’t realize that it was you that posted.

True, I was actually thinking of that the night before you posted. Was talking to Billy about it.

When I did originally get this error, there wasn’t any solutions as to why the problem was occurring, other than the so-called Firefox bug. So I thought I would post why it’s happening, as well as a fix for it.

Using a regular HTML input button would be a simpler and better approach than mine.

Hi Jay
Unless you need to use an asp.net control, you can alternatively just use a plain old html input button which won’t have this issue.. That’s what the server will convert it to anyway.
