    Hi,

    I have been working on a download form that needs to be disabled once clicked on. Basically, everything works perfectly unless you run Internet Explorer.

    The Javascript:

    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function formDisable(id)
    {

    document.getElementById(id).disabled="true";
    document.getElementById(id).src="../images/getitnowbuttonoff.gif";

    }
    </script>

    The input button of the form:

    echo '<INPUT id="' . $id . '" TYPE="image" src="../images/getitnowbutton.gif" width="135" height="29" onclick="formDisable(\'' . $id . '\')">';

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this works in all browsers save Internet Explorer?

    try enabled = "false" instead of disabled = "true"
