Old Bugs - IE9 And Posting/Editing

This would certainly work

Code: [Hide]

$('form').submit(function () 
{ 
  $(this).find('input[type="submit"]').val('Please wait').find('.mainoption').attr('disabled', true); 
}); 

EDIT : for some reason it prevents the post from being saved. I neither know nor have time to look if IP checks the value of SUBMIT (I only know it checks if it's present)

I'll have look and see if I can find the Orion stuff - No offence, but it could save one wasting their time on this, when they could be doing other things.

Edit - It's AJAX:

Found it! Don't know if it will help - - But!

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<td class="footer" colspan="2" align="center" height="28">{S_HIDDEN_FORM_FIELDS}

<input type="submit" tabindex="5" name="preview" onclick="return AJAXPreview({S_IS_PM}, {S_EDIT_POST_ID});" class="mainoption" value="{L_PREVIEW}" />

&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="submit" accesskey="s" tabindex="6" name="post" class="mainoption" value="{L_SUBMIT}" onClick="this.value='{OF_WARTEN}'" />

Of Warten = Please Wait.

I also know that myBB had the same problem with IE, and they resorted to using js to submit the form. Only difference is - They used a "Spinner" like I posted earlier.

It's working the same way as my code, except it's not unobstrusive ;). And it does not disable other fields too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'll think about integrating this.
