Hide Order Confirmation button (after click once)

[DogTags]

Is there a way to hide the order confirmation button after it is clicked? (To prevent possibility of a second click/submit).

I know that there is some submit-once code in place but it seems that some issues crop up once in a while. Would be great if the order confirmation button were hidden after a single click.

Many thanks

The curent submit once code does not work very wel.

Here's a solution: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95195

And I think you can hide the button by using button.style.visibility='hidden';

Thanks, Paul

I implemented the jscript solutions

How would the 'hidden' css be merged in? (I'm no css whiz)

Many thanks

I think it would work if you change the function submitonce and button_timeout to this

function submitonce()
{
  var button = document.getElementById("btn_submit"); 
  button.style.visibility='hidden';
  setTimeout('button_timeout()', 4000);  
  return false;
}
function button_timeout() {
  var button = document.getElementById("btn_submit");
  button.style.visibility='visible';
}

But I would not do that without testing it first! Because I am not a javascript whiz

I gave it a whirl but no go, button graphic did not hide, will see if I can come up with something

Hi DogTags,

because I was doing some more tests anyway I decided to try it on a default 1.3.8a install and it really works. The (graphical) "confirm the order" button is hidden right after the form submission.

I can PM you a link if you like.

Thanks, Paul.

If you don't mind, I'd love to see an example. Yes, please PM a URL

Thanks
