HIDDING USING JAVASCRIPT
To stop this to happen you can change the visibility property to false
or hidden that way the button wont show anymore
that way the user doesnt get confused clicking again
(this is not to prevent when the user hits the back Button)
<html>
[...]
<script language:"javaScript">
function hideMybutton(){
var myForm = document.formName;
myForm.mySubmitbutton.style.visibility="hidden";
alert("The Form has been sent please wait");
}
</script>
<body id="b1">
[...]
<form name="formName">
<input type="button" value=" submit "
onClick="hideMybutton();" name="mySubmitbutton">
</form>
[...]
</body>
</html>
have fun
