Is there a way to prevent a form getting submitted more than twice. Some people have a tendency to click twice or more on the submit button. I tried changing the 'Submissions limit' parameter in the 'general tab' form editor, but it didn't help. I noticed that the problem is with IE.

I tried using:

<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled = true" value="Save"/>

But then I get no database record.

Hi marcielo,

I suggest that you use the 'Submissions limit' setting on the Form General tab. You can set this to 30 seconds or maybe a few minutes to block repeated submissions.

As I mentioned I did change the 'Submissions limit' - I forgot to write how many seconds, in this case 60 seconds.

Hi marcielo,

Not sure what else to suggest. The anti-flooding link should work Ok but it uses the Joomla session to store the last time so I guess that may not be working correctly with IE??

You can probably disable the Submit button if you use the onSubmit event. Using onClick may block the validation and stop the from submitting. There has been another thread about this.
