Hi,
I have a web application which is (among other things) doing large SQL
Insert's,
so sometimes it takes a while, user becomes impatient and clicks again (or
just does double-click),
so the same data is getting inserted again.
I was thinking of some simple solution in Javascript.
something like:
<input name=myBtn onclick="this.d isable=true;" />
and
<body onload="if (document.myBtn .disabled) document.myBtn. disabled=false; "
/>
....
</body>
Do you think that might work ?
(that input is not a Submit button, the page actually reloads when any DB
transaction is done)
The complication is that the <bodyand <inputare in different files,
i.e. if the button is in the "grandchild " of the <bodyform (child includes
the parent which includes a grandparent).
Do they really share a "document" ?
Or is there a nicer solution ?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance,
Oleg.

I have made some progress and found a few interesting things:
1) I should use just onload="if (btn_id.disable d)", not
onload="if(docu ment.formname.b tnname.disabled );" on grandparent form; That
works in FireFox, but not IE6 [which I target],
where I had to use: if(document.get ElementById('bt n_Id').disabled )
2) for some reason that always returns false, even if I just set
<input name="name1" id="btn_id" onclick="disabl ed=true"(or
this.disabled=t rue )
I have never heard that reloading a page resets any of its attributes and
there are no other buttons with the same id or name.
3) the other strange thing is that I can't use any curly braces in any
onload or onclick, doing:
onload="if (btn_id.disable d) { alert.window('s ome text'); }" gives error:
Fatal: File SystemId Unknown; Line 16; Column -1; Could not find function:
window.alert
but runs just fine without curly braces
That looks like a problem to me. Any workarounds ?
TIA,
Oleg.

Many technical solutions, but before getting too technical, don't forget to
cue the user that he/she must wait.
When I do this via xmlHTTPRequest, I change the image on the link from
'Save' to 'Wait'. I also have the submit handler set a flag whether form
has already been submitted, which the xmlHTTPRequest event handler clears on
server response.

Bruce,
Most users know they have to wait, but sometimes they perform massive
updates
(e.g. insert 200 rows), and when a server is slow, they tend to become
impatient
and click that button again. Or just simply do double-click instead of a
single click.
So it would be more effective to just disable that button until the DB
transaction is finished
when screen is refreshed with the new data.
Actually, it's a complex Cocoon/XSLT web app with actions in Java,
but I thought that there should be a simple Javascript solution with
disabling & re-enabling that button.
So what would you suggest ?
TIA,
Oleg.

Try this:
onclick="this.d isabled=true;th is.value='Submi tting...';
this.form.submi t();"
As in:
<form action="somePro gram.cgi">
<input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit"
onclick="this.d isabled=true;th is.value='Submi tting...';
this.form.submi t();">
</form>

I do not understand why IE can't find an element of a form ?
(if what you said is true)
document.myForm .myElement.oneA ttribute
where : myForm and myElement are names (not ID !) of those
document.forms['myForm'].elements['myElement'].disabled=true;
or
document.myForm .myElement.disa bled='disabled' ;
<form name="myForm" .... >
<input type="submit" name="myElement " ... >

</body>
Do you think that might work ?
yes (as told in my other post) if your code is correct :-)
>(that input is not a Submit button, the page actually reloads when any DB
transaction is done)
Why isn't it a submit ?
prefer to use a submit button and put your conditional function in a
'onsubmit' in form's tag
<form action="page.ph p" onsubmit="retur n myConditions(); " ... >
myConditions() must return false to avoid send,
if all ok it must return true
>The complication is that the <bodyand <inputare in different files,

one way to other, in fine, you display a single file, no ?
>i.e. if the button is in the "grandchild " of the <bodyform (child
includes the parent which includes a grandparent).
I understand nothing about your family where children give birth to
their parents and grand parents ... ! ?
Voodoo ?
>Do they really share a "document" ?
yes a virtual document but working as normal one
>Or is there a nicer solution ?
Hope so for your familly :-)

Hi,
For some reason, the website I made does not open pages in a new page
whenever I right-click "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window". But, as
soon as I navigate to any other website, the open in new tab/window button
works for them.
Is there some setting I am missing that allows this to feature to work
correctly? I don't have any code purposely preventing pages from being
opened in the same window...don't know why that happens.

Hi,
I have a Java GUI application where I perform a lot of long DB operations
,
which takes 5-60 secs to perform.
Sometimes user double-clicks the button or just gets impatient and clicks
again,
which created duplicate records.
So I am trying to disable the button as soon as it is clicked, and as soon
as it's done, re-enable it again.

Forget disabling right click menus and the like, it seems to me that
