Claim:
A computer-implemented method for refreshing a page validation token, the method comprising: receiving at a server a request for a form, wherein the form comprises at least one data field into which data is entered at the client; generating by the server a page validation token in response to receiving the request, wherein the page validation token associates the client with the form; providing by the server a response to the request, the response comprising the requested form, wherein the form further comprises the page validation token and a page token refresh program that when executed, in response to a request to post form data entered into the at least one data field, requests a new page validation token when a determination is made that a first preset period of time has elapsed following the generation of the page validation token; receiving, at the server, a request for the new page validation token; authenticating, at the server, the request for the new page validation token; upon authenticating the request for the new page validation token, generating, at the server, the new page validation token; and sending, by the server, the new page validation token.
