in reply to Avoiding a second click

A simple what that works is with Javascript and can be found here: 
<form onSubmit="if (this.submitted) return false; this.submitted = tru
+e; return true">
<input type="submit">
</form>

The obvious solution might be to make the CGI script faster so users don't have to wait and get impatient and click twice :)

    First, make the form work for non-JS users. Then, add an onSubmit attribute to the form. That way, the form will still work for non-JS users, just without double-submit protection.

    PS: I just noticed that your reply doesn't suggest the oppisite, it just isn't explicit about it. Wish I hadn't already --ed.
