Repeated articles in Discussion Group

[Norman D. Ashton]

Hello,

I'm experiencing double entries for many of the articles
submitted to my discussion group. I sense that it may be
related to the advice to use the refresh command to see the
article that is part of the confirmation message..

Has anyone else encountered this and, hopefully, solved it?

It comes from impatient users that hit the submit button twice.
You can add some text to the posting page advicing them to only click
once.

Re: Repeated articles in Discussion GroupI also read on this NG a suggestion to use JS code to disable the button once it has been clicked

Someting like
onclick="requiredAction();Disable(buttonname);"
where Disable() set a specified button to disabled

From an amateur (me) to a pro (Jens) - would this work ?

Yes, that will work or use a scripted style to hide the button altogether.
Something like this:
<input type="submit" onclick="this.style='visibility: hidden'">
