Here's a cute way to disable a submit button after it's been pressed:
----- start of code -----------------------
<script language="JavaScript">
function doSubmit(btn) {
if (btn.value != "Please wait...")
btn.form.submit();
btn.value = "Please wait...";
}
</script>
<input type=submit name=btnSubmit
value="Save My Stuff"
onClick="doSubmit(this)">
----- end of code -----------------------
It depends on client JavaScript, so it's not a total solution. You'd
still want to do some sort of duplicate transaction checking. Still,
it's an elegant technique that keeps the user informed.
