Disabling form button upon submission

**AJPayne** · August 28th, 2004, 10:51 AM

Well I want to disable the form button once a user submits the form.

So basically I have this

Code:

<input name="gfdfg" type="button" class="button" value="gfd">

As soon as the user presses the button, I want to show this instead:

Code:

<input name="submit" type="button" disabled="true" class="button" value="Submit">

do you guyz know how to do this? I think it's a simple if statement. But Im not sure how.

Thanks

AJ -

what you want is javascript. Alternately you can take the user to a "thank you" page as the form action, and in that "thankyou page" - it's all php - process his data.

Here's the way I do it. In your <form> tag, put this at the end:
onsubmit="this.nameofyoursubmitbutton.disabled=tru e;"
