Onclick event

JavaScript
1

Hello,

I have very intense php script that takes from 5 - 30 seconds to execute, depending on user request.

So I want to prevent people from clicking “search” twice, so I decided to glue it by disabling button on click.

Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
			function disableButton(name)
			{
			document.getElementById(name).disabled=true;	
			document.getElementById(name).value="Working...";			
			return true;
			}
			</script>

And yet my form submit:

<input type="submit" value="Search" id="search1" onclick="disableButton('search1');"></input></form>

But, for some reason it won’t proceed. JS executes fine, but form won’t go on. What is wrong?

Ok, found the solution. Instead I tried onsubmit in <form > and it works:

<form action=“search.php?action=subscribers” method=“post” onsubmit=“disableButton(‘search1’);”>
