Simple one here… is there a clean way of preventing a user from double-clicking a button in a web form and thus causing duplicate events to fire?

If I had a comment form for example and the user types in “this is my comment” and clicks submit, the comment is shown below… however if they double-click, triple-click or just go nuts on the keyboard they can cause multiple versions to be posted.

Client-side I could quite easily disable the button onclick – but I prefer server-side solutions to things like this 🙂

Is there a postback timeout per viewstate that can be set for example?

Thanks

    I dont think that you should be loading the server for trivial tasks like these. You could try some thing jquery UI blocking solution like this one. Microsoft Ajax toolkit should also have some control which does the same. I had used it a long time ago, cant seem to recall the control name though.
