Re: Disable submit button

[Gareth Evans]

Hi,

I use the following script to do this, it requires the prototype 
javascript library:

function disableOnClick ( className ) {
    var elements = document.getElementsByClassName( className );
    for ( var index = 0; index < elements.length; index ++ ) {
        Event.observe( elements[index] , 'click', buttonOnClick );
    }
}

function buttonOnClick( e ) {
    Try.these(
        function() {
            e.srcElement.disabled = true;
            e.srcElement.form.submit();
    } ,
        function() {
            e.target.disabled = true;
        }
    );
}


e.g. in your html/jsp page

<input type="submit" class="submitButton" />
<script type="text/javascript">
        disableOnClick( 'submitButton' );
</script>



Some docs on the prototype.js

Hope that helps

<input type="submit"  onclick="this.disabled=true"/>

As a part of solution  to multiple reloads and to block the 
multiple 
submit requests in long running service layer methods, we like to
disable submit button once user hit that once. Does html:submit 
button 
tag has java scripts associated with it?

If you do have any links on client side fix, I appriciate that.

thanks
