How to disable all elements on a form
By Edward Tanguay, published on 11 Jan 2006
You can have your form to be disabled as soon as the user pressed the submit button so that he doesn't accidently submit the form twice. This is the code you can use.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
function disableForm(theform) {
if (document.all || document.getElementById) {
for (i = 0; i < theform.length; i++) {
var formElement = theform.elements[i];
if (true) {
formElement.disabled = true;
}
}
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form method="post" action="http://www.sdfsdf.com" onSubmit="return disableForm(this);">
<input type="text" name="Text1">
<input type="submit" name="SubmitButton" value="Submit">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
