onClick Disable submit button Help

[coupe-r]

Hi All,

 

I would like to have my submit button disabled on click, so the button cannot be pressed over and over again. 

 

I try using:

 

onclick="this.disabled=true;return true;"

 

But then nothing posts...  Any ideas?

 

If it isn't too much trouble, how would I change the value of the button to "processing..." AND disabled onClick?

 

Thanks

Use a function in the onSubmit event in the form element to disable the submit button.

what I would do is check for the form submission and then proceed to disable the submit button. I also recommend jquery for this. A simple solution could be,

 

document.getElementById("form_id").onSubmit = function() {
      document.getElementById("submit_id").disabled;
};

 

of course there is room to expand upon this, but this will do the trick.
