Disable Buttons
Hi
I hope someone can help me with this little niggle.
I have a page with a text box, and 7 buttons. One for each day of the week like
[--------Days-------]
[Mon][Tue][Wed][Thu][Fri][Sat][Sun]
When the user presses a day, it's added to the text box (days). But the user is allowed to only submit that day once.
What I'd like to be able to do is once a button has been clicked, is to disable it so the user can't pick it again.
I've found code to disable a button, but i'm having problems making it work for them all.
Anyone have an idea?
Many thanks

The following code should help you out. Be sure to name your form and buttons.
<form method=post action="" name="days"><input type="button" value="button1" name="button1"
onclick="javascript: document.days.button1.disabled=true">
<input type="button" value="button2" name="button2"
onclick="javascript: document.days.button2.disabled=true">
<input type="button" value="button3" name="button3"
onclick="javascript: document.days.button3.disabled=true">
</form>

that works, but you might want to change the "onclick" to "onmouseup" though.

If you change to "onmouseup" the javascript will only be executed by mouse clicks and not by tabbing to the buttons and pressing "enter" or "space". Is there a reason that you should use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick".
