Visible and Invisible buttion

[ghjk]

I have a php page which is having "sumbit" and "cancel" buttion in default. but when user click submit button I want to hide"submit" button and display "ok" button. How can I do that?

@ghjk
what for? if you wand to submit a form, a submit button seems to be the way to go...

further, PHP can only take action after the form was submitted (and there I'm wondering what the OK button should be for). for any changes before submission you may consider Javascript to change the buttons.

I imagine doing it by:
1. Create a button with dynamic text on it, That will change after click. You can use session variable to check that. and ofcourse, it will be done after form SUBMIT and will require a page reloading.
2. Display both button on the page and make ok button invisible. You would need Java script for that.

Please, correct me if I am wrong.

Use jQuery AJAX to change the SUBMIT button to OK button.
First of all use only a part of the page for the form. Using AJAX call, you can submit only this selected part and not entire page. Hence the whole page will not be reloaded. The section which will be refreshed will have SUBMIT button replaced by OK button using jQuery replacewith() function.

Here's a link for reference:

still the question remains, why an OK button?

May be the case is like this: After clicking a submit button, i.e. after submitting the form, a message is displayed to the user which has an OK button as an acknowledgement that the user has read the message. It do not see such a thing normally but you can have something like this.

I would do that with a different page, since the original form is not needed anymore
