tool tips/ java

[ncat]

Hi-

I am working on a form in ES with a submit button. I am currently having issues with people hitting submit more than once, because when the PDF is submitted it takes time, and they are not sure they have done it right instead of waiting for the confo page.

To fix this, I have entered a tool tip on my submit button, which does work, however... wondering if anyone has a simple script for either postSumit or on click that pops up a subform or other so that I can enter some large red "please be patient" text by my button.

Thanks in advance.

Have you considered making the button "readOnly" upon click?

Hi Steve-

I apologize, maybe you can explain just a bit further. Not sure if this would negate the URL then that I have the completed form set to go to if it were a read-only?

I'm sorry. My explanation didn't have much substance, did it.

Here's the idea:

1) change the submit button to hidden (let's call this button submitBtn)

2) add a second button (a plain old button) and label it "Submit" (le'ts call this button callSubmitBtn)

3) on the click event of callSubmitBtn, call the click event of submitBtn and set the presence of callSubmitBtn to "readOnly"

     form1.page1.subform1.submitBtn.execEvent("click");

     form1.page1.subform1.callSubmitBtn.presence = "readOnly";

Thank you Steve! I think that will work great.
