How can I disable and enable the submit button of a form by using jQuery?

In the context of web development, I have assigned a task which is related to developing a form that can collect sensitive information about users. To enhance the security I want that the “submit” button should be disabled after being clicked. How can I execute this Objective by using jQuery? How can I enable the submit button again after a certain event?

In the context of the jQuery button disable, you can enable and disable the submit button of your form in your scenario by using “.prop()” function in jQuery.

Here is the Instance given to showcase this particular functionality:




  Enable/Disable Submit Button

  [removed][removed]

  [removed]

    $(document).ready(function() {
      // Disable the submit button initially
      $(‘#myForm’).submit(function(event) {
        Event.preventDefault(); // Prevent form submission for this example
        Return false;
      });
      // Enable/disable button based on checkbox state
      $(‘#agree’).change(function() {
        Var isChecked = $(this).prop(‘checked’);
        $(‘#submitBtn’).prop(‘disabled’, !isChecked);
      });
    });

This above-provided jQuery allows you to manipulate the click event on the submit button. If you apply this, then the button to submit will automatically be disabled upon clicking to prevent multiple submissions. While enabling the submit button again you can use “setTimeout” after a specified duration (e.g. 3 Seconds). When you use “setTimeout” after then the submit button will automatically be regained after 3 seconds. You can also modify the specified time duration according to your needs and requirements.
