[SOLVED] Disabling the upload button

[graham23s]

Hi GUys,

 

i'm not to sure if this is a php question, but after the user clicks upload, i was wanting the upload button to fade/be disabled so it can't be clicked untill the upload is complete, what would be the best way to acomplish this?

 

cheers

php can't do anything until all the uploaded data is sent to the server, meaning php  can't do this

 

you are probably talking about how paypal and ebay put that pushed down button.

 

that is a js event when the submit is hit it makes that div and another div with an image of a "pressed" button swap places in the z-index (or some other derivation of this).

Something along the lines of:

 

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

 

Haven't tested it but give it a shot!

I dont' know if you can use this but it works.

 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) echo"<form><input type=submit disabled></form>";

else echo"<form method=post><input name=submit type=submit></form>";

?>
