Question

I have a button on a page, that I want to be fired maximum once every second. Meaning that if the user click on it like a madman for five second, it will only be executed five times. I’ve been googling and searching Stack, with no results. Also tried Alman’s throttle/debounce plugin, but doesn’t seem to work on clicks.

Answer 1

use a timer

 var clicked = false;
 setInterval(function(){
     clicked = false;
 },5000);

if($('.button').click(function(){
   if(!clicked){
      do job;
      clicked = true;
   }
});
