Multiple submissions of the same form is definitely one of the most common problem seen when working with web forms. Here’s a super useful piece of code to prevent multiple submissions of the same form.
$(document).ready(function() { $('form').submit(function() { if(typeof jQuery.data(this, "disabledOnSubmit") == 'undefined') { jQuery.data(this, "disabledOnSubmit", { submited: true }); $('input[type=submit], input[type=button]', this).each(function() { $(this).attr("disabled", "disabled"); }); return true; } else { return false; } }); });
