Question

I am trying to disable a button action link using jquery-1.5.1 but nothing seems to work. i have tried the following lines of code seperately.

$('#btnSave').fadeTo("fast", .5).removeAttr("href");
 $('#btnSave').bind('click', false)

My aim is to disable the button after clicking so that the user does not click it again while the page is being posted to the server.
Please help.

Answer 1

use one instead of .bind

$("#btnSave").one("click",function(e){
 e.preventDefault();
 //your code
 location.href=$(this).attr("href");
 $(this).attr("href","");

});
