Post Update button disable during posting

I’m curious of a way to either disable the Post Update button while the activity post is in the process of posting. Sometimes users click it twice if it doesn’t reload below instantly or the text will stay in the activity post box. I’m thinking either disabling the button or replacing it with a loading symbol after it is first clicked. Any ideas?

You could use jQuery?
```
<script>
    $( '#button' ).click( function() {
        $( this ).attr( 'disabled', true );
    });
</script>
```

Thanks Henry! I’m assuming I would want to plug this into post-form.php correct?

I appreciate the help.

Yeah, it’ll go into your template file, after your button. Note, you’ll need to change the selector to that of your button. I’ve used #button but you may need something like #aw-whats-new-submit
