now that is just cs file its handled like this in the .ascx page of the actual website
<YAF:ThemeButton ID="Save" runat="server" CssClass="yafcssbigbutton leftItem" TextLocalizedTag="SAVE"
OnClick="Save_Click" />
now it is given an OnClick codebehind function that does some serverside function like this
protected void Save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//some serverside code here
}
now I have a problem with the user being able to click multiple times and firing that serverside function multiple times. I have added in the code as of right now an extra onclick="this.style.display='none'" in the .cs code but that is a ugly fix I was wondering if anyone would have a better idea of disabling the ThemeButton clientside?? pls any feedback if I need to give more examples or further explain the question thanks.
