Hi all,
I'm new to these boards and my javascript experience is fairly limited
and basic so please bear with me. Anyway, on to the question and some
background. I'm developing using ColdFusion 4.5 and a good deal of the
page processing depends on whether or not a control is defined. To
prevent users from clicking on a submit button more than once or
clicking on another submit button before the page has finished
processing I have decided to use javascript to disable all of the
submit buttons on the page. However, this is preventing submission of
the form. When I try forcing the submit in the function, the
processing that should occur from clicking the submit button is
ignored and the submit button is not defined. Here is the code I am
using the commented code is different things I have tried:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled </title>
<script language="JavaS cript">
function fxnDisableBtn(f oo)
{
//alert(foo.type + ", " + foo.name + ", " + foo.value);
//document.frm1.f oo.click();
//document.frm1.s ubmit();
document.frm1.b tnSave.disabled = true;
document.frm1.b tnGoBack.disabl ed = true;
document.frm1.b tnReturn.disabl ed = true;
document.frm1.b tnForward.disab led = true;
//document.frm1.s ubmit();
//document.frm1.f oo.click();
switch(foo.name ){
case "btnSave":
//alert(foo.type + ", " + foo.name);
//document.frm1.b tnSave.click();
foo.click();
break;
//document.frm1.b tnSave.click();
case "btnGoBack" :
//alert(foo.type + ", " + foo.name);
document.frm1.b tnGoBack.click( );
//foo.click();

break;
}
alert(foo.type + ", " + foo.name + ", " + foo.value + ", " +

Please format your code for readability.
Instead of disabling the submit button, set a global variable and check its
state when the form tries to get submitted:
var submitForm = true;
function checkForm(){
if (submitForm){
//validation here
submitForm = false;
}
}
and anytime you need to "freeze" the page (stop the submit from working), set
submitForm to false, and when finished set it back to true.

No, not by clicking the button. Once disabled, it is just that: disabled.
The button stops receiving events and can't perform any actions, such as
submission.

This is no (bulletin/message) board. You have posted to Usenet,
via the Google Groups web interface. That interface has its flaws,
so you better use NetNews client software (a newsreader) instead.
I recommend not to use Outlook Express, it is mindboggingly buggy.

This is the wrong approach because:
[...] this is preventing submission of the form
You need to revise the concept of your server-side application. It
must not accept input twice. Sessions are a good way to accomplish that.
<script language="JavaS cript">
<script type="text/javascript">
function fxnDisableBtn(f oo)
{
//alert(foo.type + ", " + foo.name + ", " + foo.value);
//document.frm1.f oo.click();
No. If you have a method that accesses forms, pass a
reference the HTMLFormElement object instead ("this.form"
in an event handler of a form control, "this" in an event
handler of the "form" element). This avoids code like
//document.frm1.s ubmit();
document.frm1.b tnSave.disabled = true;
document.frm1.b tnGoBack.disabl ed = true;
document.frm1.b tnReturn.disabl ed = true;
document.frm1.b tnForward.disab led = true;
//document.frm1.s ubmit();
//document.frm1.f oo.click();
and you could use
... foo.elements['btnSave'] ...
aso. instead. And remember not to make operation dependent on
client-side script support for it can be disabled or not even
present.

As I understand the click event is initiated by JavaScript what happens in

If writing a site is it better to avoid the click event and include all code

This is a solution... Often users want to keep clicking "submit" when
they are waiting for server processing. Most apps these days like to
disable the submit button to prevent this. You can't just disable the
button in the OnClick event in ASP.Net because then the Click event
won't post to the server (because you disabled it). I searched google
groups, and there is a solution to this problem, but I didn't think it
was clean enough and...

Hi,
I have been developing web applications for a while now.
However, as I was thinking through the architecture I really don't
understand the "How server can identify between which buttons has made
the postback request.???"
for e.g.
I have a webpage default.aspx.
I place TWO or more server buttons on it.
Create server-side event handlers for each of the buttons.

so sometimes it takes a while, user becomes impatient and clicks again (or
