Hi,
Is it possible that the duplicate entries are generated by clicking "Save" 2 times in a row? Is this reproducible for you?

Add the following Javascript under Setup -> Header. This should prevent a user from double-clicking the save button (of any form)
Code: Select all
function nuOnLoad() {
// Disable the save button for 1.5 seconds to prevent a user from double-clicking it.
$('#nuSaveButton').click(function() {
nuDisable('nuSaveButton');
setTimeout(
function() {
nuEnable('nuSaveButton');
}, 1500);
});
}

Additionally to above code it should be probably added the nuSaveAction() function in the onclick.
In my case I am protecting from double click as well Add button and Print button to avoid some issues I had before with them.
And probably Clone button should be added if someone is using it.
Please find enclosed the code I use in my applications (placed in Header section)
Code: Select all
function nuOnLoad() {
// .. other code if exists
// disable double click for Save, Add and Print buttons
if(nuFormType() == 'edit') {
$('#nuSaveButton').attr('onclick','field=this.id; nuDisable(field); nuSaveAction(); setTimeout(function(){nuEnable(field);},2000);');
}
if(nuFormType() == 'browse') {
$('#nuAddButton').attr('onclick','nuDisable(this.id); nuAddAction();');
$('#nuPrintButton').attr('onclick','field=this.id; nuDisable(field); nuPrintAction(); setTimeout(function(){nuEnable(field);},2000);');
}
}

@Janusz: .attr('onclick') will override an existing event handler, while .click(...) will just add an additional handler. That's the reason you don't need to call nuSaveAction(); etc. using my code.
Here is a modified and more generic code, that will work for any Action Button (Save, Delete, Print, Clone etc.)
Please let me know if it works for you.
Code: Select all
// After clicking a nuActionButton (Save, Delete, Print, Clone etc.), disable it for 1.5 secs to prevent a user from double-clicking it.
function preventButtonDblClick() {
$('.nuActionButton').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
nuDisable(id);
setTimeout(
function() {
nuEnable(id);
}, 1500);
});
}
function nuOnLoad() {
preventButtonDblClick();
}

Kev1n, thanks for this explanation - I was considering onclick and click as equivalent - but looks like there are some diiferences.
Just tested your script - and it's working OK - thanks.
