[QUOTE="Super Steve, post: 4936242"] I'm trying to write a little script that disables the submit button on a form, changes the text of the button, and then submits the form. Can anyone tell me why this works ok: <input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="this.disabled=true; this.value = 'Submitting...'; this.form.submit();"> But when I try to make a function it doesn't work: <script language="JavaScript"> function DisableButton(b) { b.disabled = true; b.value = 'Submitting...'; b.form.submit(); } </script> <input type="button" value="Submit" name="submit" onClick="DisableButton(this);"> When I try this the button text is changed and the button is disabled, but the form doesn't submit. In IE I get an error that points to the line that says: b.form.submit(); and the error: Object doesn't support this property or method What's the difference between doing this code directly in the onClick event and doing it in a function?
