New Mobile App

So I spent the last few weeks playing around with the PhoneGap framework with the jQuery Mobile framework, gotta say I am really impressed with the framework and will be releasing my first app into the wild this next week (waiting on my designer to finish the launch screen). Over the next few months I am gonna start building some more apps and I will post up some tidbits for all of you.

Sorry for the Lack of response
I just noticed I had my notifications for comments set to an old no longer used email address, so those of you who posted comments a few weeks ago and got no response. I apologize. I have updated to my new email address and now will be notified and I will try and check back more often. Just been real busy the last few months and haven't spent much time on my own website...
Prevent Multiple Submits on your forms with Jquery
Here's a simple little Jquery tidbit to prevent user form submitting the same form multiple times.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | <form method="post" id="checkout" name="checkout" action="subscribe.asp" onsubmit="return errorsOnSubmit(this);"> <input type="text" name="emailaddress" id="acceptDropShip"/> <input type="submit" name="submit_form" value="Send" class="form_button" /> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> var submitForm = false; //Do some form validation and set the var submitform to true or false if (submitForm == true) { $('input[type=submit]').attr('disabled', 'disabled'); form.submit(); }else{ return false; } </script> |
Ohh and don't forget to include the jQuery libary...
