Disable submit button ONLY after submit
Question
I have the following HTML and jquery:
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Test disabling submit button for 1 minute...</h2>
<br/>
<p style="text-align:center">
<form id="yourFormId" name="yourFormId" method="post" action="#">
<input type="submit" class="submitBtn" value="I Accept"/>
</form>
</p>
<!--script to disable the submit button -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".submitBtn").click(function () {
$(".submitBtn").attr("disabled", true);
return true;
});
});
</script>
<!--script ends here-->
</body>
</html>
As its stands the submit button gets disabled when pressed. However once pressed it does not seem perform the submit. If I removed the jquery to disable the button, the button then performs the submit normally.
How can I disable the button only after it has performed the submit? the current jquery above seems to conflict with the submit operation.
Any suggestions to resolve this issue would be extremely helpful.

Add the disable part in the submit event.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#yourFormId").submit(function () {
$(".submitBtn").attr("disabled", true);
return true;
});
});

I faced the same problem. Customers could submit a form and then multiple e-mail addresses will receive a mail message. If the response of the page takes too long, sometimes the button was pushed twice or even more times..
I tried disable the button in the onsubmit handler, but the form wasn't submitted at all. Above solutions work probably fine, but for me it was a little bit too tricky, so I decided to try something else.
To the left side of the submit button, I placed a second button, which is not displayed and is disabled at start up:
<button disabled class="btn btn-primary" type=button id="btnverzenden2" style="display: none"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-refresh"></span> Sending mail</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type=submit name=verzenden id="btnverzenden">Send</button>
In the onsubmit handler attached to the form, the 'real' submit is hidden and the 'fake' submit is shown with a message that the messages are being sent.
function checkinput // submit handler
{
..
...
$("#btnverzenden").hide(); <= real submit button will be hidden
$("#btnverzenden2").show(); <= fake submit button gets visible
...
..
}
This worked for us. I hope it will help you.

Test with a setTimeout, that worked for me and I could submit my form, refers to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/779785/5510314
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnSubmit").click(function () {
setTimeout(function () { disableButton(); }, 0);
});
function disableButton() {
$("#btnSubmit").prop('disabled', true);
}
});

As a number of people have pointed out, disabling the submit button has some negative side effects (at least in Chrome it prevents the name/value of the button pressed from being submitted). My solution was to simply add an attribute to indicate that submit has been requested, and then check for the presence of this attribute on every submit. Because I'm using the submit function, this is only called after all HTML 5 validation is successful. Here is my code:
$("form.myform").submit(function (e) {
// Check if we have submitted before
if ( $("#submit-btn").attr('attempted') == 'true' ) {
//stop submitting the form because we have already clicked submit.
e.preventDefault();
}
else {
$("#submit-btn").attr("attempted", 'true');
}
});

This is the edited script, hope it helps,
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#yourFormId").on('submit', function(){
return false;
$(".submitBtn").attr("disabled",true); //disable the submit here
//send the form data via ajax which will not relaod the page and disable the submit button
$.ajax({
url : //your url to submit the form,
data : { $("#yourFormId").serializeArray() }, //your data to send here
type : 'POST',
success : function(resp){
alert(resp); //or whatever
},
error : function(resp){
}
});
})
});
</script>

Reading the comments, it seems that these solutions are not consistent across browsers. Decided then to think how I would have done this 10 years ago before the advent of jQuery and event function binding.
So here is my retro hipster solution:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _formConfirm_submitted = false;
</script>
<form name="frmConfirm" onsubmit="if( _formConfirm_submitted == false ){ _formConfirm_submitted = true;return true }else{ alert('your request is being processed!'); return false; }" action="" method="GET">
<input type="submit" value="submit - but only once!"/>
</form>
The main point of difference is that I am relying on the ability to stop a form submitting through returning false on the submit handler, and I am using a global flag variable - which will make me go straight to hell!
But on the plus side, I cannot imagine any browser compatibility issues - hey, it would probably even work in Netscape!

My problem was solved when i add bind section to my script file.
Totally i did this 2 steps :
1 - Disable button and prevent double submitting :
$('form').submit(function () {
$(this).find(':submit').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});
2 - Enable submit button if validation error occurred :
$("form").bind("invalid-form.validate", function () {
$(this).find(':submit').prop('disabled', false);
});

I put this in my global code to work on all submit buttons:
$("input[type='submit']").on("click", function (e) {
$(this).attr("disabled", true);
$(this).closest("form").submit()
});

并不是说我建议将 JavaScript 直接放入 HTML 中，但这适用于现代浏览器（不是 IE11）以在表单提交后禁用所有提交按钮：
<form onsubmit="this.querySelectorAll('[type=submit]').forEach(b => b.disabled = true)">

I went through a lot of solutions for my problem statement and I think most of the people here are also answering the same.
Generally, when you do a server side form submit, there is a chance of user clicking the button multiple times which leads to multiple submissions. So, to prevent that, the button should be disabled after the first submit. This is what worked for me in the most elegant way.
- We have a form submit event
<form onsubmit="onFormSubmitted()"></form>. - In
onFormSubmitted()disable your submit button or do any operations required. - Handing this way retains your html validations as well as it disables the button once the form submit is triggered when first click of button takes place.
function onSubmit() { $('.btn_submit').attr('disabled', true); }
<form class="contact_form" method="POST" autocomplete="off" onsubmit="onSubmit()"> <input name="email" id="email"> <button class="btn_submit" type="submit">Submit</button> </form>
Alternatively, you can also make global form submit handler for forms throughout the project.
$('form').on('submit', function() {
$(this).find(":submit").prop('disabled', true);
});
