Massimo? As in Massimo The DW Extension Guru? Awesome! I just wanted to say thank you SIR!! I have been using your stuff for years. And thanx for showing up when you did. I was *just* about to write a custom tag for DHTML Calendar for work. I looked and noticed that you have not posted any of you work to riaforge.org. Any reason for this? Yours is a great contribution to the community, both CF and Web Dev in general, and riaforge.org might serve to broaden the reach of your contribution.

Re: Avoid multiple form submits.
The Javascript example above doesnt have a TYPE="submit" so it will cause weird behavior in some browsers. I bet it will work if you add it Eric On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 10:52 AM, Massimo Foti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If what you are looking for is just a client-side solution, the TMT > Validator offers this: > http://www.massimocorner.com/validator/ > > http://www.massimocorner.com/validator/samples/generic.htm > > Massimo > > > ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305047 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Avoid multiple form submits.
A client side only solution can not ensure that this problem will not occur. A more robust solution is to use the "Synchronizer Token Pattern" from core J2EE Patterns. Here is an excerpt from http://www.corej2eepatterns.com/Design/PresoDesign.htm: " Synchronizer (or Déjà vu) Token This strategy addresses the problem of duplicate form submissions. A synchronizer token is set in a user's session and included with each form returned to the client. When that form is submitted, the synchronizer token in the form is compared to the synchronizer token in the session. The tokens should match the first time the form is submitted. If the tokens do not match, then the form submission may be disallowed and an error returned to the user. Token mismatch may occur when the user submits a form, then clicks the Back button in the browser and attempts to resubmit the same form. On the other hand, if the two token values match, then we are confident that the flow of control is exactly as expected. At this point, the token value in the session is modified to a new value and the form submission is accepted. " This combined with a client side JS solution will ensure the form is only submitted once.

Re: Avoid multiple form submits.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, The JS based solution doenst quite work for me, it seems to grey the button out and change the value to 'please wait' but doesnt actualy submit the form :-) I've read about this on a few different occasions and appears to be a problem with IE7 or something like that, I dont know, any ideas? As for the solution, I did try this but when the submit button is clicked it doesnt disable itself, is that correct behaviour? or should the button become disabed once it has been clicked? Thanks guys, I appreciate your input (no pun intended.)

Re: Avoid multiple form submits.
Assuming that the user has JavaScript turned on you can use this bit of code, it disables the button used for submitting the form once its been clicked: hth, larry Larry C.
