h:commandButton with JS this.disabled=true, never calls ACTI

[rschoeler]

Hi folks, don't know if this is a RichFace Problem or not, but it could be....therefore I aks for your assumptions. I know, that this could also be a MyFace-Problem.....8-}

Following SRC has a normal h:commandButton, with JS-Code in the onclick-Method. But if,

this.disabled=true;

is part of the onClick - JS the action of the Bean will never called, but the rendercycle is going through. I can trace this with PhaseListener in the logfile.

If I remove the JS-Part

this.disabled=true;

from the SRC, then everything works as expected.

My Environment:
FF 3.0.5
RF 3.3.0GA
MyFaces 1.2.5
Tomcat 6
JDK 1.6.0_11

<h:panelGrid columns="4" rendered="#{articleEditHandler.art.article_number > 0}" styleClass="standardTableBordered" id="button_grid_all">
 <h:commandButton value="#{msgs.button_label_delete}" action="#{articleEditHandler.delete}"
 onclick="this.disabled=true;if(!confirm('#{msgs.js_delete_article}')){this.disabled=false;return false;}alert('show me?');return true" />
</h:panelGrid>

thx for your help

Hi Roland,

Disabled inputs are not submitted, that's why action is not invoked on server. That's not a RichFaces problem.

Hi nick, thanks for your answer.

Normally we have used the way with JS "disabled=true" to avoid the "Multiple-Click on same Button Problem, if www is to slow". It's seems that I must search for another way to solve this problem.
