Hi Dan,
It looks like you nearly have it. You just need to increment submitcount and
add the conditional. viz
var submitcount=0;
function submitForm(s) {
if(!submitcount){
s.value = " Sending... ";
submitcount++
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
When I do this, I use a hidden input rather than a global js variable to
remember the value. I think the browser does a better job of remembering the
values of form inputs when a page is reloaded from the back button.
Regards Simon

Subject: Witango-Talk: [OT] Combining two JavaScript's
I am trying to use the code below which forces a submit button to only be
used once with code in the attached file that causes the submit button to
change to sending when it is pressed. I really want both functions but I am
too JavaScript disabled to figure out how to get them both to work in the
same results page.
