Is there a way to disable a button after it is clicked?

I am trying to avoid having someone click on it twice while they wait for it
to process.

Thank you!

Hi Barry,

This should work:

Button1.Attribute.Add("onclick", "this.disabled = true;
document.Form1.submit(); return false;")

I didn't test it but I know you need to submit the form yourself and cancle
the event bubble on the submit button. Good luck! Ken.

adding following code in the onClick event (javascript), will stop the user
from pressing it again

document.getElementById('buttonname').disabled='tr ue';

Barry,

I have a javascript that first makes a call to .net's built in
authentication scripts to make certain a form is submittable (you wouldn't
want to disable a button if the clientside script decides it's not valid and
doesn't submit thus stranding the user) and then disables a second click of
said button.

The code is available as part of a Javascript component that is free for
download from my website as a Visual Studio.Net 2003 project. Even if you
don't want to use the whole component (it has other scripts such as open a
centered popup window, click a button when the enter key is pressed while in
a text box, scroll to an element on the page, etc.) you could always strip
out the code you want. All the components on my site are free, all come with
complete source code, and there is a help file you may download if you'd
like.

You may download the component from here:

Ken,

That will work, but what if the form isn't valid. Now the user can't fix and
resubmit...

Why using javascript?
It can be done very simply by C# code...

private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Button1.Enabled = false;
}

I think what he's trying to do is prevent someone from submitting a form
twice. Doing that in server-side code wouldn't not work.

It is working with me.
I think if you revised what Mr.Barry Gilmore wanted, you may find my code
efficient.

Bishoy,

If you set the Enabled property of the button in server-side code, it only
affects the button when the page is rendered AFTER the postback. That won't
prevent someone from clicking the Submit button twice on a form. In order
to do that, you need to disable the button on the client immediately after
the form is submitted but before it actually POSTs.

Your code will not meet that need.

I tried the code submitted by Ken Dopierala Jr.
It disable the button for a second then when the page is refreshed due to
post back, it is enabled again.

Also the code of Sreejith Ram is not working.
