Disable Submit Button

[jack-e]

Hi,

Can someone please provide me with an example of how to disable the
submit button once clicked (using javascript i guess). Keep in mind I
also have to invoke a server side function which processes the form.

Thanks in advance.

Use the Attributes collection to set the onclick to disabled the button
and submit normally:

button1.Attributes.Add("onclick","javascript:document.getElementById('"
+ button1.ClientID + "').disabled=true;" +
this.GetPostBackEventReference(button1));

Much shorter form:

button1.Attributes.Add("onclick","this.disabled=true;return true;");

Hmmm, that didn't seem to work for me. Could you provide sample code if
so? For completeness here....

Try to submit the from and then to disable the button. If you disable first
the button, the button is not considered pressed (disabled control are not
posted).

Craig,

You can check it on any server-side button. "this" is the client-side
reference to the button itself and "return true" takes care about bubbling
the event up.

Could be. This I didn't check. I've just optimized the size of the code.
