Greetings
I've been scouring the web for about the past hour looking for a script solution that will prevent clicking of any links until after the page fully loads up. Perhaps my Google skills are below par. ;)
Here's the deal. I use a product named RoboHelp HTML to create HTML Help files. This product has a really easy to use feature called a "DHTML Drop Down". Basically, you select the link text, click a button and add the text you want to appear when clicked, then click OK. RoboHelp handles inserting the code (stashing it in a hidden DIV) and has JavaScript behind the scenes to make the hidden DIV appear or disappear depending upon the state when the link is clicked upon. If you have inserted quite a few of these and the page is lengthy, the page may take a while to load up. If this is the case and a user clicks one of these links before the page loads completely, a JavaScript error is produced and prevents any of the other links from working until the page is reloaded. Hence my search for some scripting to prevent anything from occurring until the page is completely loaded.
Any pointers to existing scripts would be appreciated. Thus far, all I can seem to find are scripts that prevent right clicking or scripts that handle allowing only a single click of a form submit button.
Thanks in advance... Rick :)
