This small plugin disables form buttons when the user submits the form. This prevents novice users from double clicking the button and submitting the form twice.
Here is example use of the plugin:
$(function(){
$('form').disableOnSubmit();
});
The above code would apply the effect to all forms. You can try the live demo here.
Additionally, you can add a second optional parameter to the function that tells the plugin exactly what input elements within the form you want disabled.
$(function(){
$('form').disableOnSubmit('input[type=submit],input[type=button],textarea,button');
});
Download the plugin with example here.
This plugin has been tested on IE6+, FF3, Opera 9, and Safari 4.
