I think you've misunderstood the meaning of 'reentrant'.

Interfering with the existing process is not trivial. Wouldn't it be simpler
to not allow the user to POST more than once - something like:

<input type='button' id='submitId' onclick='
if (document.getElementById("formId").onsubmit()) {
document.getElementById("submitId").disabled=true;
document.getElementById("formId").submit();
}' value='Submit'>
