vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Deactivate Submit Button after clicking it

Matt D · #6 03-06-2004, 07:02 PM

Well, my instructions were pretty blunt, so I'll follow up with some more specific instructions...

Place the <head> </head> part of the code into your header include field (this can be found on the general style editing page in your vBulletin admin control panel).

Next, go to the template section and open the newthread template. Find where the template says <form

Inside this tag replace onSubmit="return validate(this)" with onSubmit="return submitonce(this)"

This replaces a javascript dialog box that will say "You didn't fill in the fields" with the deactivate submit button on the touch of the button. It will still validate the fields manually and display an error message on the next page saying they need to go back and fill in all the fields. I'm no javascript expert, so I didn't research or even attempt ways of incorporating both types of validation into one check... If you want that, you'll need to wait for someone to contribute that, or find a way yourself

You'll need to take the above steps in all applicable templates that you'd like the form submit button disabled on click (like "newreply", "newpoll" etc...). I suggest searching for all templates that have <form in it and adding / replacing the code as outlined above.
