Maybe something like this:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true" />


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

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<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:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<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:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<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:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<script type="text/javascript">
function disable(f) {
    var button = f.elements['submit'];
    button.value = "processing";
    button.disabled=true;
    return true;    
}
</script>
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. function disable(f) {
  3.     var button = f.elements['submit'];
  4.     button.value = "processing";
  5.     button.disabled=true;
  6.     return true;    
  7. }
  8. </script>


and then add this to the form tag:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
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 Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
 
$header = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC  -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN >
 
<html>
 
<head>
 
<title>Test</title>

<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>
 
 
  1.  
  2. $header = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC  -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN >

  14. function disable(f) {
  15.  
  16.    var button = f.elements['submit'];
  17.  
  18.    button.value = 'processing';
  19.  
  20.    button.disabled = 'true';
