Disable Submit Image Button

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 01.2009

I have a form with a Submit Button that is an image. I’d like to disable the button when the user clicks it once. How can I do this with an Image Button?

[code=html]
<input name=”imageField” type=”image” id=”imageField2″ src=”images/Btn_Submit.gif” alt=”Submit” />
[/code]

@thraddashDec 01.2009 — Something like this:

[code=html]<input name="imageField" type="image" id="imageField2" src="images/Btn_Submit.gif" alt="Submit" onclick="this.disabled = true;" />[/code]

You could hide the button

document.getElementById(imageField2).style.visibility = "hidden";

Or you could have a global var in your javascript and use the onChange() event in the submit button or onSubmit() event.

var submitPressed = false;

When the user clicks the button the first time set submitPressed = true;

And on each subsequent event return false to the event.

Is it an [I]autosubmit[/I] action within your form? In this case you can't. Changing the session will make all the javascript changes lost.

@BracholeauthorDec 02.2009 — This is a "Review Your Order" page, and then a Submit button to process the order. So I need to disable the button once they click on it, to avoid procesing the order twice!
