Hey,
I want to disable the form when an user submits, I know that u can do this with javascript. But i dont want to put code for each form on my website, and I have a lot of forms like..
<%= start_form_tag :action => 'create' %> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td width="150" height="18" class="label_required" align="right">Name</td> <td width="10" height="18"> </td> <td height="18"><%= text_field 'album_category', 'name'%></td> </tr> </table> <%= submit_tag 'create', 'class' => 'knop' %> <%= end_form_tag %>
Is there something to automatically put the disable stuff in there when u place a start_form_tag ??
Thanks N.
Hey
Here's a blog post that spoke about exactly this issue...
http://www.rubyonrailsblog.com/articles/2006/10/03/disable-submit-button-after-its-pressed
submit_tag also accepts an option :disable_with. If this is set, the submit_tag is disabled on click, with the button's text getting changed to the value of :disable_with...
submit_tag "save", :disable_with => 'saving...'
I've never used this, but looking at the rdoc, it seems like that's the idea...
This is a javascript which gets called by the button's onClick event though, and you mentioned you weren't fond of using JS.
Hope this helps!
