Which of course is horrible web form design. If the cancel confirmation form is submitted at a later point when the latest viewed reservation for the session has changed, it should return an error rather than canceling the wrong reservation. This can easily be done by including a hidden field containing a reference id to the reservation that the cancel confirmation page was loaded for, or keeping a more detailed track of activity on the server-side.
