cliftonbazaar Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi All, How would I go about programming a HTML button that cannot be clicked on for two seconds after it loads? As part of a game I wish to stop people simply re-clicking the button and I think a delay of about two seconds would stop abuse of this (if they click it every two seconds then that's fine). I have read the manual for sleep() but it doesn't do exactly what I want - I want the rest of the page to load (and display), and the button to be grayed out for the two seconds, and then the button to be active.

sunfighter Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Once a page loads into a browser php is a no go, because it needs the server to interpret it's code. You need javascript for this. I would have the js script make the button appear so users can't turn js off and have the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, use javascript to have the button appear, you can use an onclick to make the button inactive for the next 2000 milliseconds or however javascript default handles seconds. (Forgotten!)
