Hi,
When my form is submitted i post the data to an external url using gform_post_submission and redirect the user based on the response.
This can sometimes take a couple of minutes and i find that impatient users are repeatedly hitting submit and thus posting the form multiple times.
How would I disable the submit button after it has been pressed to stop this happening? and is it possible to also show a 'please wait...' message whilst they are waiting for a response?
Thanks,
You can use a little jQuery or JavaScript to disable the button after it's clicked.

The redirect really takes a couple minutes? I don't think I'd have the patience to wait either! Maybe something can be sped up in that process?

Thanks.
I'm not sure how to add code into a specific page but i added
$(":submit").click(function(){
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled').val('Please wait...');
});to header.php and it didn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
If you want to add it to header.php, you will need to add script tags.
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Where_Do_I_Put_This_Code%3F
Try this:
[js]
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(":submit").click(function(){
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled').val('Please wait...');
});
</script>That will run on every page if you enter it in header.php.
Doesn't work. I put this in Header.PHP and I still get multiple submissions when people refresh the page or use the back/forward buttons. It's bloody annoying too because I get people signing up for my Mailing List and they get 3 and 4 notification emails and want to unsubscribe because they think I'm spamming them. It makes it impossible to use the form on my main page or in a sidebar widget as people keep submitting over and over again.
