Preventing [unintentional] Double Posts

[Lews Therìn]

Under Netscape, when you click the "submit" button, the button disables itself while the post is being sent. With Internet Exploder, this doesn't happen. Instead, multiple clicks means multiple posts.

<center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>If you're on Windows, I believe an hourglass should appear next to your cursor (even briefly) if you've activated the submit feature, whereas if you missed the submit button you wouldn't see an hourglass.
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>
But if you're looking away at the moment of clicking (yes, I know it sounds trivial) like I mostly am (am reading the post for errors to edit), then you miss the hourglass.

<center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>the little blue progress bar doesn't show up and the stupid M$ icon in the corner doesn't rotate (btw i use IE 5)
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>Exactly.

<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>On Windoze, Netscape is the "Exploder".

<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
</font>Go to File and select "new". Open a second Navigator Window
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>I do this, and it mostly works, but I think once it showed up as not having posted the post, so I posted a 2nd time, but then that orig post surfaced later (I think the surver was slow). But this sort of thing still can't be fixed by my orig suggestion.

No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards... Despite any stupid advertisments you may see to the contrary...
