2 e-mails when submitting twice

2 e-mails when submitting twice

When submitting the Checkout page, the order is stored in the database, the customer receives an e-mail (confirmation) and an e-mail (with the order) is sent to myself.
But when the customer clicks twice the submit button, the e-mails are also sent twice.
I added the orderID in the subject. The second e-mail counts one number more than the first e-mail. This is very confusing because the next customer will have the same OrderId as that second mail.
The order is stored in the database only once and correct.

Is there a way to solve this ?

use javascript to hide the submit button once it's been clicked

add the following code to the submit button tag:

onClick="this.style.visibility = 'hidden';"

Thanks, this works but the customer must hit a checkbox (I agree ...) before he confirms.
When submitting without the checkbox is hit, the button also disappears.

Then, I also have another button (link) for the customer to go to the previous page to choose another payment gateway. This one should also become invisible.

The first is in a div ID, the second in a span ID.

use server validation to validate that the checkbox has been clicked.

use getElementById to hide the second button. for example:

onClick="this.style.visibility = 'hidden'; document.getElementById('modify').style.visibility = 'hidden'"

Since this checkout is posting directly to paypal, server validation cannot be used in this instance, only client side validation or spry validation can be used for this.

Paypal is just to see if the loader works. Normally the page is directed to 1_Confirm.asp.
But this is one too quick.

seethe following thread for using server validations on a checkout page that posts to the confirm page:

for your checkbox, make sure to assign it a checked value.

The alert works fine now, thanks.
But in IE the animated gif freezes. In Firefox and Chrome it moves.
