MorningZ's suggestion is good, but there is another approach that is always worth considering for any long-running function that you don't want started while it's already running. function myLongRunningFunc() { if (arguments.callee.running) return; arguments.callee.running = true; // your processing here arguments.callee.running = false; } This is simpler than you need, if you have multiple forms to submit, so you'd have to store the running flag in the form, not the function, but it's not too hard to modify. Here's a modification of MorningZ's page: http://jsbin.com/upilo (code http://jsbin.com/upilo/edit) I think this is incomplete, because a form can be submitted in other ways than by the click of a particular button, but some variation of this might do. It's not that I think this is a better solution than blockUI, but it's a useful technique in its own right. Cheers, -- Scott No virus found in this incoming message.
