Disable a input button on click

[LoveToCode]

I want to disable a button when the user clicks it. Here is my button html:

<input type="button" style="submit" value="SEND" onclick="this.disabled=true;send(<%=this.thisUser.UserId%>);" class="send" />

IE does not give me an error when its click, but also it does not disable it.

Testing your code without the call to send() using IE 6 disabled the button as expected. Have you tried it without calling the send() function? If it works fine that way, the problem is with that function or with the parameter you're passing to it. You might try putting the parameter value in quotes, in case it isn't totally numeric:

<input type="button" style="submit" value="SEND" onclick="this.disabled=true;send('<%=this.thisUser.UserId%>');" class="send" />

Hi Lee,

I removed the function call Send(); and still the same effect. I was testing this on FireFox 2.0. I then switched to IE, to see what error message it would give me, and it worked! So I guess the problem FireFox does not like this function... do know a workaroudn in FF?

Other than a complaint about the style being called submit, I had no problem with the code in Firefox 1.5.

Did you mean that the class should be submit? There are no style elements I'm aware of named that.

Works for me as well in FF 1.5 and IE6. even with the style="submit" line in there.

Double check what the value being suppied in <%=this.thisUser.UserId%> is coming out as also, though if you removed the call to the send function entirely it should not be an issue.
