i want to be able to make the submit button in jquery form plugin disabled and then when the response is retrieved, it should become enable. i am trying thru the code below but as soon as in the onlick event i disabled the button it somehow stops the submission. although i am able to change the class of the button.
what am i doing wrong?
code is like this:
function timing(){
d=Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
$('input[name=timedate]').val(d);
var btn1 = $('#post_global');
btn1.val('posting');
btn1.removeClass('t_s').addClass('t_sDisabled');
btn1.prop('disabled',true);
}
(function() {
$('form').ajaxForm({
dataType: 'json',
beforeSubmit: validate,
success: processResponse
});
})();
function processResponse(data) {
document.getElementById('upfile').value = "";
document.getElementById('fileinfo').innerHTML = "";
document.getElementById('txt1').value="post anything...";
var status = $('#status');
if(data.errors == ""){
status.hide().html(data.htmlResponse).fadeIn(1000);
} else{
alert(data.errors);
}
var btn2 = $('#post_global');
btn2.val('post');
btn2.removeClass('t_sDisabled').addClass('t_s');
btn2.prop('disabled',false);
}
