Recognizing double clicks

Hey all,

Every site I've ever stuck a credit card into said "only click
once...". I just this requirement from a client.

a.System should recognize a duplicated click, so the message
in red “only click once” should be unnecessary.

Is this doable???

Has anyone on the list ever done this???

Re: Recognizing double clicks

It just dawned on me the button may be disabled right when
it's clicked to prevent a double submit?

Is that doable?

This forms generation class can do exactly that. It generates Javascript
with form HTML that disables the form submit button while the form is
submitted. Then it enables the submit button again. If the user clicks
on the button again, an alert message appears asking whether the user
really wants to submit the form again.

Here you can see a live example:

Re: Recognizing double clicks

Write a function that generate a unique form id and one that checks if
it already has been submitted.
Store data that the script sends after a submit has been done in the
session array and if it is a re-submit just re-send the the data.

Yes. I have done this before.

Three things:

1. The Credit Card processing company should have "Duplicate
Suppression" turned ON. Contact them.

2. Use javascript to deactivate the Submit button after it's clicked.

3. Just in case the user has javascript disabled, then have your php
form generate a token and place that value in a session. That way,
upon a refresh (double click) you can check if the session contains
anything and if it does, then don't do anything.

Cheers,

tedd

To mark a button as disabled after it has been clicked to prevent it being
clicked twice just add some simple code in the button (all on one line in case
it wraps):

onClick="this.disabled=true; this.value='Processing'; this.form.submit();"

However I would also do something server side (a unique ID for every form
served works well) to handle browsers that don't have javascript turned on.
Never rely on (or trust) code running on the client.

Cheers,

Mark
