button- can click more than once and data is getting inserted into the database repeatedly

[Thomas Weidenfeller]

In the javascript, i intoduced a new variable "submitted" with initial
value as 0. Now, Inside the if loop,
if (submitted == 0)
change submitted = 1,
do all the feild validations,
submit the form

if(submitted ==1)
give an alert telling that its already being submitted.

Thatz it!!

No, it is not. Many people have turned JavaScript off for security
reasons, so it will fail for them. You can't solve this at the client
side. You need to handle it on the server side.

Thanks for ur help Mr. Thompson.

I have got the answer.

No you haven't..

Its really simple..

It looks really simple, doesn't it?

In the javascript, ...

BWAAAP! (That's the 'failed' klaxon..)

Have you even been listening? Post an example page that
connects to a dummy database (whatever) and we will
demonstrate how long (or short) it takes to corrupt.

document.form1.submit.disabled = true;

Posting addresses on usenet often attracts (evil, evil) spam.

..if it does not work.

It does not work on my Mozilla with current settings.

You really have not read this *thread*, ..have you?

sorry, been busy for a few days.
then i do believe the second solution that i gave in my first post is
the best in current scenario.
If you use that method, and hadle it carefully, it should work out.

post it if anybody as any queries on that.
