Also, it does take a little while for the message to appear on the page.

21332 2001-10-13 07:27:00 Yes. Very new and very green. Having had amazing help to one query, I'm hooked on this site, even though I don't often understand it all. Hope my answer doesn't post more than once now! Guest (0)
21333 2001-10-13 22:08:00 PC World: try putting something like this under the POST buttons:

<INPUT TYPE=button name='postcomment' VALUE='POST' onClick='JavaScript:document._Comment.postcomment. disabled=false; return _doClick('9ed61616f5906ac9cc2569cb0006e708/$Body/0.39C4', this, null)'>

That should disable the button as soon as you click it on IE 4.0+ I think, you should play around to get it doing both things on the single click because I'm not sure if my code's quite right.
