MOD Purpose: Someone posted a topic not to long ago and i got thinking i have seen this done on a normal guestbook.so i got lookign and i foudn this script.
What this mod does??
have u ever typed a very long poist and then pressed submit and u get a error saying u must enter a subject? well this tells u to enter a subject if it is blank and then when u press post new topic that button will be disabled and will say please wait... it can be used in more that just that just look in the .js file and see wot u need to use it for.
Example:MaD2ko0l'§ HangOut Made by: MaD2ko0l Files to chnage: Post.asp Nunber of scanges: 3 chnages Other Files needed:validate.js
Complete instructions are included in the README.txt in the zip.
I use something very similar to this which is a nifty little feature, but the best thing I got out of it was how it minimized accidental double posts. Thanks for sharing, I will review your version now.
I'll be using something like that too, but I disable the preview and reset button too and don't change the text on the submit button. It's kind of useless to have it change for 1 second, after which the form is no longer on screen IMO.

Well actually I do this because sometime you click Post and it "hangs" which is why double posts happen sometimes. I had members get "hung" and they click the post button again and again so disabling the button and changing the button text to "Please Wait" or something like that is just a little added visual for those forums with less than perfect response times.
and in the .js file u can do alot more stuff in it just have a look and u can/will do alot more things more easily. all u do is basicly add a alt tag to the form and then it checks it.
