Hi, all!
There's a new release of the Confirmer plugin:
Plugin description:
Confirmer implements a novel approach to the process of confirming an
action. Normally this is achieved via a yes/no dialog box or a button
with a confirm checkbox next to it. The Confirmer plugin instead
sets up a single button which changes to a confirm the action state
if it is clicked one time. If the button is clicked again within a
specified time then the action is confirmed, otherwise it times out
and returns to its initial state.

Changes to this release:
- Plugin no longer attaches new properties to 'this', as that may
cause collisions with jQuery properties.
- Implemented Felix Geisendörfer's suggestion: options classInitial
and classActivated. This means you can now add/remove a pair of CSS
classes as the associated UI control is activated, e.g. to add a red
border around the element during the countdown.
The classInitial/classActivated feature can be seen in action in the
demo app:

(Click the yellow-highlighted SPAN to see it.)
The much-discussed disable button for 500ms to avoid double-clicks
feature was not added. Well, it WAS added, but was too flaky to keep.
i kept having problems with the events when double-clicking, such as
both confirmation and cancellation happening. The problems are
believed to involve race conditions which cannot be adequately solved
in an environment like a browser. One poster suggesting adding a no-op
dblclick handler to avoid the problem altogether, but unfortunately a
dblclick handler apparently has no effect on Button controls.
Happy hacking!
