Disable Submit after submitted

Hi all,

I have a user who just loves to press Submit until it goes on through. Problem is it resubmits the form each time - and uploads more images - shoots back to a different server and completes a database update/insert.

Is there a way to disable submit after it is pressed once and submitted?

Thank you "Never underestimate the power of determination"

Code:
onclick=&quot;<documentName>.<FormName>.<SubmitButtonID>.disabled='true'&quot;

And then, when you've completed all the whangdoodling you need to do, the very last command you send is...

Code:
<documentName>.<FormName>.<SubmitButtonID>.disabled='false'

Good luck!

Hi Edward,
Thank you for your reply.

I get a document is undefined - earlier I put in my page name and it also showed up as undefined.

this is my submit button code.

<input name=&quot;Finish&quot; id=&quot;FINISH&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; class=&quot;inputsubmit&quot; value=&quot;Finish&quot; onclick=&quot;Document.form1.FINISH.disabled='true'&quot;>

<form name='form1'>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; id=&quot;FINISH&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:document.form1.FINISH.disabled=true;return false;&quot;>
</form>
 
lol got it covered on the other thread LAwebTek - but thank you for your reply. &quot;Never underestimate the power of determination&quot;

oops, I made the same mistake, have to tell it to submit the form, too - lol:

<form name='form1'>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; id=&quot;FINISH&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;javascript:document.form1.FINISH.disabled=true;document.form1.submit();return false;&quot;>
</form>
