Any thoughts: page called/loaded 700 times

This might be a long shot, but I'm going to put it on here anyway.

I have a (very, very rarely occurring) problem in my application, particularly when users send e-mail (but that might be because that's the most-used feature). The page that actually sends the e-mail in my application is sometimes (has only been reported by one user) called up to 700 times! This obviously leads to a very embarrassing 700 e-mails in the inbox of their business relation. The last time, the 700 calls, were made in a period of around 5 minutes.

Any clues on how this could possibly occur? Browser开发者_开发技巧s, javascript, plug-ins?

thanks in advance

Without more detail, preferably example code, it's very hard to suggest the most likely reason.

Does the page that sends the email then attempt to redirect to another page? If so, perhaps it's accidentally redirecting to itself, causing the browser to keep re-requesting the same page?

I would say some bug in your code that sens email 700 times under some circumstances...

Is it exactly 700 every time, or does the number of emails vary? As the answers before suggest, you should first check, whether your page is actually called 700 times (which would point to some kind of a redirect running wild) or if the page is only called once (which would point to some kind of bug in your email sending routine).

It turned out that there was indeed a page that stayed open and for some reason (I'm thinking browser plugin) it kept sending the e-mails. The page didn't need to be opened but Thanks for the help guys!
