Hi Diane

I have a page that can take a few seconds to go to the next page once the
submit button is pressed. The page submits an email back to the site
owner, so when visitors press the submit button multiple times, it causes
problems.
Why not have a flag 'buttonpressed' that starts off false. Then in the
script called by clicking the button, if buttonpressed is false you set it
to true, send your email etc but if it's true then the script does nothing,
or even tells the user to lay off clicking the button. So the script can
only run once, first time the button is pressed.
<script>
var buttonpressed = FALSE;
function buttonclick() {
if (!buttonpressed) {
buttonpressed = TRUE;
email stuff;
etc;
}
else alert('Please be patient, I'm going as quick as I can!');
}
</script>
