Onclick or onsubmit

JavaScript
1

hello all, am in need of a onsubmit or onclick form disable for xamount of minute.

i don’t want to disable the button just the form, d user can keep clicking the button but once d form is disable, it wont submit values, this is possible right.

thank you.

You only need to prevent the default submit action for the time duration. Although I would disable the submit button since that is the primary cue for the user that the form will not submit.

Wouldn’t a debounce technique be successful here?

Na d primary cue is d form it self reason is that i want d user to click d button to download a file once after which d form disasble for some time so wen d user click d button aagain only d file is downloaded but value isnt sent to database thats what am trying to accomplish

He wants a debounce function, so that it doesn’t submit again until a period of time has elapsed.

// Returns a function, that, as long as it continues to be invoked, will not
// be triggered. The function will be called after it stops being called for
// N milliseconds. If `immediate` is passed, trigger the function on the
// leading edge, instead of the trailing.
function debounce(func, wait, immediate) {
	var timeout;
	return function() {
		var context = this, args = arguments;
		var later = function() {
			timeout = null;
			if (!immediate) func.apply(context, args);
		};
		var callNow = immediate && !timeout;
		clearTimeout(timeout);
		timeout = setTimeout(later, wait);
		if (callNow) func.apply(context, args);
	};
};

That’s only a part of it, you need to have an event listener for the form submit, and a handler to help join things together.

I’m not keen on doing a cooking show and whipping out a meal that was prepared earlier, for not much is learned there.

Instead, I’ll as you to set up a form and then add an event listener for that form.
