Globally Prevent Double Click on Button

[devnull]

Just discovered that some users are double-clicking buttons resulting in duplicate records being added.

Is it possible to GLOBALLY extend the linkbutton to prevent double clicks by using either a delay or a true/false parameter i.e.:

Code:

$('#mybut').linkbutton({
  doubleclick: false
  repeatMsec: 1000
})

I would like to add this globally rather than adding code to every button individually.

Yes, it could be very useful for me too. Any help would be appreciated

Hello;

Any solutions for this ??

Here is the extended method 'singleClick' that can avoid double click on it.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
	function setClick(target){
		var clickHandler = function(e){
			var opts = $(this).linkbutton('options');
			if (!opts.disabled){
				if (opts.toggle){
					if (opts.selected){
						$(this).linkbutton('unselect');
					} else {
						$(this).linkbutton('select');
					}
				}
				opts.onClick.call(this);

				$(target).unbind('click.linkbutton');
				$(target).linkbutton('disable');
				$(target).removeClass('l-btn-disabled l-btn-plain-disabled');
				setTimeout(function(){
					$(target).linkbutton('enable');
					$(target).unbind('click.linkbutton').bind('click.linkbutton', clickHandler);
				}, 1000);
			}
		};
		$(target).unbind('click.linkbutton').bind('click.linkbutton', clickHandler);
	}
	$.extend($.fn.linkbutton.methods, {
		singleClick: function(jq){
			return jq.each(function(){
				setClick(this);
			});
		}
	})
})(jQuery);
$(function(){
	$('#btn-add').linkbutton('singleClick');
});
</script>
