Question

how to disable the button after the first click????????????

Asked by: viola123

hi,

i have a .net button, which is used to redirect the page once it is clicked. in order to avoid multiple click before redirection, i would like to disable the button after the first click. in another word, i would only allow the user to click the button once

how to do that?

thanks

Hi, viola123
You can just add javascript to onclick button attribute on Page_load event.
So on client side, after first click button would be disabled.

aspx:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /></div>
    </form>

cs:
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Button1.Attributes["onclick"] = "javascript:document.getElementById('"+Button1.ClientID+"').disabled = true;";
        }

after the click event u can put ,
button1.Enabled = false ,

 

by: G0ggyPosted on 2007-02-14 at 00:34:00ID: 18529496

Rae Awwad is right, however put it as the last event of the click otherwise the focus will be lost and it won't disable.

hi, guys,
i solved it. you can simply add a javascript function to OnClientClick event of the button:
1. create a hidden textbox to record how many times the user clicks the button
2. in your javascript function, you get the number from the hidden textbox. if num >1, return false; else return true.
therefore, the button_click event won't be fired if num > 1.

thanks guys

Its more complicated then simply disable button after click on it.

 

by: viola123Posted on 2007-02-18 at 18:09:35ID: 18560656

you cannot disable a button if you have Response.Redirect() in button_click event of your code behind.

you can have a try.

Sorry, viola123!
I forgot one important thing in my first post. Must to specify UseSubmitBehavior="False" in aspx. Take a look at following:

aspx:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" UseSubmitBehavior="False" />
     </div>
    </form>

codebehind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Button1.Attributes["onclick"] = "javascript:document.getElementById('"+Button1.ClientID+"').disabled = true;";
        }

rotected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000); //emulate some work...
            Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com",true);
         }

Hi, Netminder!
Let author try my last posted code. This code seems to be complete solution to answer, I suppose.
