Add more actions to a submit button

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 11.2007

Hi

I have a form with several submit buttons. In one of them, I want to submit the form and disable it. How can I do that?

I tried

[CODE]onclick=”document.form.submit_button.disabled=true”

onmouseup=”document.form.submit_button.disabled=true”[/CODE]

but the form is never submited.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks in advance

@holyhttpJan 11.2007 — The form is not submitted because the onclick event takes precedence and therefore disables the submit button before the form is submitted.

In any case, even if the form is submitted (to the web server I suppose) the current web page is not longer in control since a new page is about to be opened.

What you can do however is on the server-side check the name and value of the submit button then on the returning page disable the submit button.

Success!
