Disable a button on click

Question

I have a button control. Once the user clicks on it, the click event should fire and then the button should get disabled. How can I do this? I have the option to use JQuery

Answer 1

You need to be careful that the postback occurs before you disable the button through client script. This is a common gotcha with ajax and input boxes. Disabling an input box prevents the data from being sent from the browser, even if you can see text within it while it is disabled. The answer is that you need to use jquery for this to ensure the server-side code runs first before it is disabled.
