best way? use javascript don't forget that the onSubmit event is a client/presentation side issue. use the appropriate technologies to handle it. nothing to do with server code, really...
here's one example. http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/5827/fid/51/lang/en cheers barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Mark Stanton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 27 March 2003 11:36 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] stopping the double click effect Hey All I've got a site that has some users who are on very slow connections. These users have the tendency to click a submit button, wait, click again, wait, click, click, click - just in case the computer has had trouble understanding that they clicked the first time. I am aware that you can do various js work arounds to prevent subsequent clicks from having any action, but this is kind of messy for all the usual client side reasons. I am also - wherever possible - checking in my code to see whether the current action is a duplicate: query to check if record already exists if not do some things do some more things do lots more things write record However I've still occasionally getting duplicates> I guess they are coming from the first test being performed on the duplicate before the record is written for the first item. (home this is making sense) My question is can you use <cflock type="exclusive"> to lock this code block and two processes running this same code at the same time? I.e. request 2 waits for request 1 to completely finish before bringing its processing. I guess I could alternatively put my test immediately before updating the database: do some things do some more things do lots more things query to check if record already exists if not write record Thanks in advance Mark ______________ Mark Stanton Web Production Gruden Pty Ltd Tel: 9956 6388 Mob: 0410 458 201 Fax: 9956 8433 www.gruden.com --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
