submit button, js

[OuiKikUrAzz]

how can i use js to make the submit button un pressable after it has been pushed so it can only be submitted once?

 

[Argo]

document.formname.buttonname.disabled = true;

err could you elaborate a bit more?

Thanks

<form name="myform>
<input name="mybutton" type="button" onClick=javascriptocument.myform.mybutton.disabled=true>
</form>

inputed it and when I click it it says document is undefined, i changed 'myform and myname' to appropriate values already.

In that case remove document alltogether. Just have javascript:formname.buttonname.disabled=true;


Btw, this would work only in IE

ok that worked but when i push submit it just makes it unclickable and doesn't process the form

 

[Argo]

Change the line to read this


onClick=formname.buttonname.disabled=true;formname.submit();

This actually works better:

<input type="submit" onclick="javascript: this.disabled=true;">

If you use the submit() method, it will bypass any calls that are in the onsubmit event, which you may not want to do.

that method actually doesn't submit the form, it makes the button on pressable once and doesn't submit the form for processing

Hey, look at that. Ah well
