ok this is mine... I'm embarrassed to post this but here goes:
BtnSubmit.Attributes.Add("onlick", "disableSubmit()");I'm wondering why on hell it's not disabling the button... when I suddenly spot my typo :doh: DOH! Somehow I don't think the button is going to be licked any time soon! :laugh:"For fifty bucks I'd put my face in their soup and blow." - George Costanza

By the way, although that sounds like a good solution to prevent the user from licking the button more than once, the problem is that if the user clicks the Stop button on the browser before the page comes back, the button stays disabled and he's stuck. Regards, Alvaro
If [God] knows what we are going to do then we have no free will and are just characters in a play written by him. Without free will, morality for humans makes no sense. Without free will and morality, any sort of punishment or reward system loses any justification. Heaven and hell would be places where [God] could watch the souls he created, predestined just for eternal happiness or agony. - Mark Thomas

Well I'm actually showing a message next to the disabled button. And the thought had crossed my mind to include a 'try again' link to re-enable the button. But by the time they click stop, the request is already being processed, so kindof a catch 22.

I was thinking that one way to work around the possibility of the user clicking Stop may be to call setTimeout to reenable the Submit button after say, 15 seconds or so, depending on how long the round trip can take. I've seen some sites immediately redirect the user to a "Please wait" page which does the actual postback, but that may be overkill for your site. Regards, Alvaro

WTF Of The Day in coding, a WTF is a really obvious mistake, or really poor logic. I think this is the site that made the term famous: http://thedailywtf.com/[^]

Would of made a good post in the new "Subtle Bugs" forum. :)
Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy.
My most recent, favourite subtle bug is:
foreach (string s in myStrings); { col.Add(s); }and wondering why my collection never gets populated. -

Both good ideas - thanks. Another idea that just sprang to mind is to just show a confirm() box on the second click saying something like 'you already submitted this form - do you want to re-submit?'.

Didn't Steve Jobs say, "We made the buttons look so good you would want to lick them"? So, the Mac has the command "onlick"!;P

Ah, the joys of string based attribute programming, and the reason why people hate declarative programming--no compile time syntax checking! Marc
People are just notoriously impossible. --DavidCrow
There's NO excuse for not commenting your code. -- John Simmons / outlaw programmer
People who say that they will refactor their code later to make it "good" don't understand refactoring, nor the art and craft of programming. -- Josh Smith
