Maybe something like this:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true" />


or if you want to give an indication that it's processing maybe:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='processing'" />

I tested it in FireFox and didn't think to test it in IE until just now. It wouldn't work in IE until I added another line:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='processing';this.form.submit();" />


Hopefully, that'll do it.

Maybe try moving this.form.submit to the front:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
<input type="submit" onclick="this.form.submit();this.disabled=true;this.value='processing'" />

Hmm, while perhaps trying it from a function onsubmit would work. You could try removing the onclick entirely and adding this function insided the <head> tag:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">
function disable(f) {
   var button = f.elements['submit'];
   button.value = "processing";
   button.disabled=true;
   return true;   
}
</script>


and then add this to the form tag:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
onsubmit="disable(this)"

Do me a favor and try this link and see if it works for you. It's the same method that I just posted - it should just echo some nonsense after the form is submitted (a hidden field just for testing) but see if the disabling works for you because it seems to be working for me.

Here is some snippets of my code:

[php]
$header = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN >
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1>
<script type=text/javascript>
function disable(f) {
var button = f.elements['submit'];
button.value = 'processing';
button.disabled = 'true';
return true;
}
</script>

</head>

<body leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0>
<div align=center>
<table width=100% height=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
[/php]

Then my form:

Line number On/Off
Code: Select all
<form method='post' action='<? $PHP_SELF ?>' onsubmit='disable(this)'>
                <table width=75% border=0 cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' bgcolor='#D4D0C8'>
                  <tr>
                    <td align=center> <table width='100%' border='0'  cellpadding='0'  cellspacing='0'  bordercolor='#000000'>
                        <tr bordercolor='#000000'  bgcolor='#D4D0C8' >
                          <td colspan='2'> <div align='center'><strong><font size='2' color='#FF0000' face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>
              <? echo $uerror
         ?> </font></strong></div></td>
                        </tr>
                  <tr bordercolor=#000000  bgcolor=#D4D0C8 >
                          <td colspan=2>&nbsp;</td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr bordercolor=#000000  bgcolor=#D4D0C8 >
                          <td width=42%><font size=2  face=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif>Username</font></td>
                          <td width=58%><input name='username'  type=text  size=25 style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px" /></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr bordercolor=#000000 bgcolor=#D4D0C8>
                          <td><font size=2 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Password</font></td>
                          <td> <input name='password' type='text' size='25' style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px" /></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr align='center' valign='middle' bordercolor='#000000' bgcolor='#D4D0C8'>
                          <td colspan='2'>&nbsp; </td>
                        </tr>

                          <td colspan='2'><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Login' style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; font-style: strong" /></td>
                        </tr>
