disabling the submit button after click

[Willie]

Hi All;

I have a form with multiple buttons and I would like to disable the buttons
after the user clicks on the button to prevent multiple submitions.

<input type="submit" name="return1" value="Send To MFG" id="return1"
onClick='this.disabled=true;this.form.submit()' >

This works but I do not get the return1 value passed to the action script as
I do if I just have :

<input type="submit" name="return1" value="Send To MFG" id="return1" >

I need this vale to be know which button was pushed. Is there a way of
passing a value with the form.submit() ?

Thanks
Willie

Disable it after submitting :
<input type="submit" name="return1" value="Send To MFG"
onClick='this.form.submit();this.disabled=true;return false' >

OR

<form ... onsubmit="this.return1.disabled=1">
....
<input type="submit" name="return1">
</form>

For some reason the OP wants to disable only one of the multiple
submit buttons, so the second example won't work.

Why? I think it will.

You think it will do what? It will disable just the return1 button,
which may or may not be the one that was clicked.

Yes, "OP wants to disable only one of the multiple submit buttons".

I think the whole idea is aweful.
