Prevent double submission of forms in jQuery
- by Adam
I have an form that takes a little while for the server to process. I need to ensure that the user waits and does not attempt to resubmit the form by clicking the button again. I tried using the following jQuery code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("form#my_form").submit(function(){
$('input').attr('disabled','disabled');
$('a').attr('disabled','disabled');
return true;
})
});
</script>
When I try this in Firefox everything gets disabled but the form is not submitted with any of the POST data it is supposed to include. I can't use jQuery to submit the form because I need the button to be submitted with the form as there are multiple submit buttons and I determine which was used by which one's value is included in the POST. I need the form to be submitted as it usually is and I need to disable everything right after that happens.
Thanks!
