Disabling Double-Submitting On Forms

[Cibok]

Hi,

I have several forms all over my website. Currently when I double-click the submit button, the form gets sent out twice. I'd like to prevent this from happening. I guess I need some sort of javascript for this, but I have no knowledge of javascript!

I tried a few premade ones, but they didn't work on all browsers (and some didn't work at all). So if you have something that I could just put on my site's header.php file that would solve the problem, then that would be perfect!

I can also just ofcourse edit all the forms myself, but that would take some more time.

Thanks!

As this is a code question why not try the coding forum?

The best solution is to place the forms on a seperate page from the scripts.

Alot of scripts use: action=\"$PHP_SELF\", or for html: action="<?PHP_SELF?>"

Instead it's wise to use: action=\"location-to-scipt\" or
for html: action="location-to-scipt"

could use java



<script language:"javaScript">
function hideMybutton(){
var myForm = document.formName;
myForm.mySubmitbutton.style.visibility="hidden";
alert("The Form has been sent please wait");
}
</script>

add this: onClick="hideMybutton();" name="mySubmitbutton" to your button


ie:
<input type="button" value=" submit " onClick="hideMybutton();" name="mySubmitbutton">
