We are having the same issue on simple forms... sometimes 2 or 3 entries from the same person. I like the idea of the "grayed out" or even something that would say "please wait" while it was submitting.

The back button). My suggestion would be to put a big warning on the site asking the customer to not use the back button (or the order will be refused - something like that). Your submit once script should work for most people but a lot of other people are impatient and will not wait for their connection to catch up with the request. I guess that's the price of doing business. Not much you can do about it. I'll go through some stuff I have laying around and see if there is anything that can be done, but don't count on it.

And still we have multiple submits from some users. Not that much anymore but max 10! Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem is not consistent and I'm not sure about the bandwidth issue. jpetersen on "Submit Once" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/submit-once#post-20038 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:14:13 +0000 jpetersen 20038@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Hello, We are having problems with some clients who use the forms with a low-bandwith conection. Is it possible to disable the submit button after submitting. Now we get between 1 and 100 submits from 1 client. Something like this: <a href="http://tympanus.net/Development/ProgressButtonStyles/" rel="nofollow">http://tympanus.net/Development/ProgressButtonStyles/</a> (fill horizontal) If so where can I change this and how. Kind regards Jarno
