I have the similar issue  You can use setTimeout   to avoid the double-click     some codes here above after the click then disable it      also check here if there s an attribute disabled     if there s an attribute disabled in the btn tag then             return  Convert that into js       btn1   prop  disabled   true    setTimeout function            btn1   prop  disabled   false      300

In my case  jQuery one had some side effects  in IE8  and I ended up using the following      document  ready function             dblclick function e       e preventDefault                which works very nicely and looks simpler  Found it there  http   www jquerybyexample net 2013 01 disable-mouse-double-click-using-javascript-or-jquery html

Just one more solution      a   on  click   function e       var  link     e target       e preventDefault        if   link data  lockedAt       new Date   -  link data  lockedAt    gt  300            doSomething               link data  lockedAt    new Date           Here we save the time of last click as data attribute and then check if previous click was more than 0 3 seconds ago  If it is false  less than 0 3 sec ago   just update last click time  if true  do something   jsbin

What I found out was old but working solution on modern browsers  Works for not toggling classes on the double click          click function event        if  event detail    event detail  1    activate on first click only to avoid hiding again on double clicks            Toggle classes and do functions here           this  slideToggle

jQuery s one   will fire the attached event handler once for each element bound  and then remove the event handler     If for some reason that doesn t fulfill the requirements  one could also disable the button entirely after it has been clicked     document  ready function               submit   one  click   function  event                 event preventDefault                 do something              this  prop  disabled   true                  It should be noted that using the ID submit can cause issues  as it overwrites the form submit function with a reference to that element

The solution provided by  Kichrum almost worked for me  I did have to add e stopImmediatePropagation   also to prevent the default action  Here is my code      a  button   on  click   function  e        var  link     e target       if    link data  lockedAt               link data  lockedAt    new Date           else if   new Date   -  link data  lockedAt    gt  500             link data  lockedAt    new Date           else           e preventDefault            e stopPropagation            e stopImmediatePropagation

My solution  https   gist github com pangui 86b5e0610b53ddf28f94 It prevents double click but accepts more clicks after 1 second  Hope it helps   Here is the code   jQuery fn preventDoubleClick   function         this  on  click   function e       var  el     this       if  el data  clicked              Previously clicked  stop actions       e preventDefault          e stopPropagation         else           Mark to ignore next click        el data  clicked   true            Unmark after 1 second       window setTimeout function             el removeData  clicked             1000                return this

I was able to do this task efficiently by the following way  As soon as the button click handler is called disable the button  Do the necessary operations needed to be done   Set the disabled property back to false after a couple of seconds using SetTimeout      btn1  click function e        btn1   prop  quot disabled quot   true     setTimeout     gt        btn1   prop  quot disabled quot   false      2000     This should solve the issue

You can do something like this to disable submit button when loading a new page with the same form     quot  btnConfirm quot   bind  quot click quot   function  e         quot  btnConfirm  quot   css  quot pointer-events quot    quot none quot         The submit button could look like this   lt input     type  quot submit quot      name  quot ACMS POST Form Confirm quot      value  quot confirm quot      id  quot btnConfirm quot    gt

I found that most solutions didn t work with clicks on elements like Labels or DIV s  eg  when using Kendo controls   So I made this simple solution   function isDoubleClicked element          if already clicked return TRUE to indicate this click is not allowed     if  element data  isclicked    return true         mark as clicked for 1 second     element data  isclicked   true       setTimeout function              element removeData  isclicked           1000          return FALSE to indicate this click was allowed     return false      Use it on the place where you have to decide to start an event or not       button   on  click   function          if  isDoubleClicked   this    return         continue

If what you really want is to avoid multiple form submissions  and not just prevent double click  using jQuery one   on a button s click event can be problematic if there s client-side validation  such as text fields marked as required   That s because click triggers client-side validation  and if the validation fails you cannot use the button again  To avoid this  one   can still be used directly on the form s submit event  This is the cleanest jQuery-based solution I found for that    lt script type  text javascript  gt      my-signup-form   one  submit   function            Just disable the button         There will be only one form submission          my-signup-btn   prop  disabled   true        lt  script gt

Double click behaves as one single click    It is inadvisable to bind handlers to both the click and dblclick events for the same element  The sequence of events triggered varies from browser to browser  with some receiving two click events before the dblclick and others only one  Double-click sensitivity  maximum time between clicks that is detected as a double click  can vary by operating system and browser  and is often user-configurable    That way we have to check what is the event that is being executed at any sequence                 var totalClicks   1        elementId   on  click dblclick   function  e      if  e type     dblclick         console log  e type1      e type       return     else if  e type     click          if  totalClicks  gt  1            console log  e type2      e type           totalClicks   1          return        else           console log  e type3      e type             totalClicks               execute the code you want to execute

This is my first ever post  amp  I m very inexperienced so please go easy on me  but I feel I ve got a valid contribution that may be helpful to someone     Sometimes you need a very big time window between repeat clicks  eg a mailto link where it takes a couple of secs for the email app to open and you don t want it re-triggered   yet you don t want to slow the user down elsewhere  My solution is to use class names for the links depending on event type  while retaining double-click functionality elsewhere     var controlspeed   0     document  on  click   a  function  event        eventtype   this className      controlspeed         if  eventtype     eg-class01             speedlimit   3000        else if  eventtype     eg-class02              speedlimit   500         else            speedlimit   0              setTimeout function             controlspeed   0        speedlimit       if  controlspeed  gt  1            event preventDefault            return        else             usual onclick code goes here

I had a similar issue  but disabling the button didn t fully did the trick  There were some other actions that took place when the button was clicked and  sometimes  button wasn t disabled soon enough and when the user double-clicked  2 events where fired  I took Pangui s timeout idea  and combined both techniques  disabling the button and includeding a timeout  just in case  And I created a simple jQuery plugin   var SINGLECLICK CLICKED    singleClickClicked     fn singleClick   function          var fncHandler       var eventData      var fncSingleClick   function  ev            var  this     this           if    this data SINGLECLICK CLICKED        this prop  disabled                   ev preventDefault                ev stopPropagation                      else                this data SINGLECLICK CLICKED  true               window setTimeout function                       this removeData SINGLECLICK CLICKED                  1500               if    isFunction fncHandler                     fncHandler apply this  arguments                                      switch  arguments length            case 0              return this click            case 1              fncHandler   arguments 0               this click fncSingleClick               break          case 2               eventData   arguments 0               fncHandler   arguments 1               this click eventData  fncSingleClick               break            return this      And then use it like this       button1   singleClick function           this  prop  disabled   true                 this  prop  disabled   false
