Disabling forms once submit is clicked

[rapmonkey]

What would be the easiest, and more importantly, the most cross-browser friendly way to disable a form once the submit button is clicked?

Thanks.😃

disable the submit button with javascript

<input type="submit" value="submit" disabled="true">

...But then you can't click it. I want it to be disabled AFTER the submit button is clicked.

if you wan the form to be submitted only once, try using a cookie

try this bit of javascript:

<form action="page2.php" name="myform" method="post" onsubmit="javascript:kill_form()">
<input type="text" name="fname" />
<input type="text" name="lname" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
    function kill_form() {
        document.myform.submit.disabled=true;
    }
//-->
</script>

<input type=submit name=submit value=Submit onClick = "this.disabled = true; return true;">

or

<form name=f1 onSubmit = " document.f1.submit.disabled = true; return true;"
<input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>
</form>
