There actually is a similar problem that Windows apps can run into if they close dialogs in the wong way. But I knew we weren't doing that, and we couldn't repro the bug at all. Proofread, Geary, proofread. Obviously wrong, especially after that second glass of wine. :-) And Resig says

i guess, his windows config was set to double click when a single-click is executed and since the dialog closes on the first click, the page underneath gets the second click which probably opens up a popup.. Just a theory... :-) -GTG On 7/17/07, Michael Geary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Does disabling the element for 500ms sound like a reasonable solution to you? i'm not sure that disable makes much sense for non-buttons, but i think that buttons will make up 90%+ of use cases. Instead of disabling the element for 500ms just ignore any other clicks on the element for 500ms.

Very cool idea. Anything to get rid of confirmation dialogs! I see one problem: Many people habitually double-click everything - links, buttons, you name it. If you double-click the button, the second click ends up confirming it. You could avoid this by disabling the button for a second with a
