Doubleclick on form submit

[Anon]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with doubleclicks. If someone makes more than one click on a form submit the requested page-script is run more than one time.

That causes a several insert into the database although only one insert should be made.

Does anyone solved that problem before?

Thanks.

Marc

function disableForm(theform)
	{
	if (document.all || document.getElementById)
		{
		for (i = 0; i < theform.length; i++)
			{
			var tempobj = theform.elements[i];
			if (tempobj.type.toLowerCase() == "submit" || tempobj.type.toLowerCase() == "reset")
			tempobj.disabled = true;
			}
		return true;
		}
	else
	{
		return true;
	}
}
//  End -->

<FORM NAME="myForm" METHOD=POST ACTION='<? echo basename($PHP_SELF); ?>' onSubmit="return disableForm(this);">

Yes, that is a way to use Javascript. But what should I do with people with do not have Javascript enabled in their Useragent.

The Problem is that the request will be sent several times to the server.

Can I solve this problem on the server side.
