Hi:

Situation:

    To forestall a user multi-clicking on a submit button, I use JS code 
similar to the following:

        getobj("mybuttonid").disabled=true ;
        getobj("myloginid").submit() ;

        (where the getobj() function is simply my short way of using 
document.getElementById()  )

Result:
    If my server response is very slow, my user hitting the submit button 
repeatedly will *not* result in successive submits because the submit button 
is now disabled.

Problem:

    In IE11 (at least), after the new page arrives, if the user decides to 
use the 'back arrow' to re-load the previous page, then that submit button 
is *still* disabled, when I wish it to be enabled and ready for another 
submit

Question:

    How do I restrain multiple submits, *but* allow submits again after a 
new page has arrived, and then the user 'arrows' back to the previous page 
(or pages).

    (btw, I tried putting the re-enabling code in the onload event, but I 
guess that the onload code doesn't get activated if the user simply uses his 
back-arrow to get his previous page ?? )

Thanks.
