It’s common to encounter situations where a user may unintentionally click a button multiple times, leading to undesirable consequences or duplicate actions.
Solution:
To prevent such scenarios, We can use the techniques to disable buttons temporarily after the first click. One popular method involves using JavaScript/jQuery to manipulate the button’s properties dynamically.
if (jQuery('#tdbody_custpage_cardpointe_button').length === 1 ) {
jQuery('#tdbody_custpage_cardpointe_button').css('pointer-events', 'none');
jQuery('#tdbody_custpage_cardpointe_button').css('opacity', '0.5');
}
- The first part of the code uses jQuery selectors to check if the specific buttons, identified by their respective IDs (`#tdbody_custpage_cardpointe_button`), exist on the webpage. The `length` property is used to determine if any button elements matching the IDs are found.
- If either of the buttons is present on the page, the subsequent lines of code are executed. The following actions are performed on each button individually:
– `jQuery(‘#tdbody_custpage_cardpointe_button’).css(‘pointer-events’, ‘none’)`: This line disables the button’s pointer events, making it unclickable. By setting the CSS property `’pointer-events’` to `’none’`, the button effectively becomes non-responsive to user interactions.
– `jQuery(‘#tdbody_custpage_cardpointe_button’).css(‘opacity’, ‘0.5’)`: This line adjusts the opacity of the button to visually indicate its disabled state. In this case, the opacity is set to `0.5`, making the button appear slightly faded. - By disabling the button’s pointer events and adjusting its opacity, the code prevents further clicks on the button after the initial click. This helps avoid potential issues that may arise from multiple clicks, such as duplicate form submissions, unintended actions, or processing errors.
