How can I stop repeat clicks

[Guest]

When the web page takes a while to process users get impatient and click the
button again. I need to throw these extra clicks away or disable the button
after the first click.

There was a discussion of this a few days ago:

You will have to disable the button.

Still having a problem. I've converted the code to VB and have:

btnOkay.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:document.getElementById('" _
& btnOkay.ClientID + "').disabled=true;" &
Page.GetPostBackEventReference(btnOkay))

On the Web page it's

<tr>
<TD align="center"><input type="image" name="btnOkay"
onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('btnOkay').disabled=true;__doPostBack('btnOkay','')if
(typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') Page_ClientValidate(); "
language="javascript" id="btnOkay" src="imgBtnOkay.gif" alt="Click to accept
the name as the signer." border="0" /></TD>
</tr>

Don't understand this code but it doesn't stop repeat clicks. Additional
HELP please!

Got it!

in Page_load
btnOkay.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:document.getElementById('" _
& btnOkay.ClientID + "').disabled=true;" &
Page.GetPostBackEventReference(btnOkay) & ";")

which results in

<tr>
<TD align="center"><input type="image" name="btnOkay"
onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('btnOkay').disabled=true;__doPostBack('btnOkay','');if
(typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') Page_ClientValidate(); "
language="javascript" id="btnOkay" src="imgBtnOkay.gif" alt="Click to accept
the name as the signer." border="0" /></TD>
</tr>

I was missing a semi-colon.

Thanks for your help.
