What is the simplest way to avoid duplicate order
entry on a form? Some people aren't patient enough to
wait for the SSL/credit card processing and will click
the submit button two, three, or more times causing
duplicate orders.
Is there a quick way to disable the submit button at
least in javascript? Better yet, something quick and
easy that could be done server-side without a lot of
programming like cookies, database flags, etc?
I've thought of a few things (like hidden variables
with an order ID or cookies/flags) but this really
should be a quick fix since it's not a big problem on
the site.
Thanks in advance for any tips or techniques!
