Web form usability: Better form submission feedback with jQuery

17 pointsby briancrayalmost 16 years ago
Browsers fail to give users effective feedback when the user submits a form. Users respond by clicking the submit button over and over. The problem compounds when users find out they’ve been charged 5 times or when you receive 5 contact submissions. Bummer.<p>The solution is to replace the submit button with a friendly message letting the user know the form is working.

i might be missing something, but what is gained by using jquery? just use one line of jscript to replace the button with some text.

Check TypeKit.com. They have an excellent implementation on a simple subscribe form.
