In IE9 if you want to post or edit it very often (almost always) takes two clicks on the submit button, this will sometimes result in a double post if you are not careful enough :wink:

If you patiently wait after one click it will completely fail to submit

Thanks for reporting, but it is (again) an IE issue which doesn't warn properly the user that the form is submitted.

I 'm sorry I can only agree to the part where you say it's an IE issue :mryellow:

There was a recent discussion between MG and Joshua here about submit problems with IE - Only I can't find the damn thread or the post to continue the conversation there. :(

Anyway - I came across this while looking for something else and it may throw a little light on the subject. ;)

Merged for you Mort :wink: Thanks

Unfortunately it is not easy to prevent that.

Usually browsers shows you some progress when submitting a form, while IE still doesn't give any prompt signal to the users (so they click more than once! :sad: ).

I think we can do very little to prevent this.

Sorry I still think I did n't get across what I mean..

If I click once and wait.. I often get a blanco page (meaning I lost my message content!)

Clicking twice prevents loosing the message and because the board will warn me if one click was enough after all (the "there was a post inbetween" warning), so I would not double post.

If I compare to phpbb, 1 click is usually enough to post ...even on IE :)

I'll try to check if I can do something... I need to find some motivation to launch IE on my PC... I also doubt is still there. :LOL:

NO problem ..My last posts went without 2 clicks ...I ll let you know when it happens again a couple of times

Maybe we can use a little JS trick (<!-- if ie > js ...) to set disabled=true on submit button when clicked?

EDIT : another idea, just throwin' it : if IE doesn't subit the <input type="submit" value, maybe we can use sizeof/!empty($_POST) or use <input type="hidden" name="sent" value="1" />

Nice idea... I'll have a look.

What about cBack's Orion mod that that turned the submit button into "Please Wait" :mrgreen:

I got a copy of it somewhere! :P

Why not add some elevator music to that ...music while you wait :LOL: (maybe guns&roses - just a little patience?)

just a small update: I ve been trying to not click twice everytime (it kinda became a habbit)

It seems like it's still happening but maybe not as frequent as i remember

Or, how about this while one waits?
