Prevent double click!

prevent_double_click.js

// jQuery plugin to prevent double click
jQuery.fn.preventDoubleClick = function() {
  $(this).on('click', function(e){
    var $el = $(this);
    if($el.data('clicked')){
      // Previously clicked, stop actions
      e.preventDefault();
      e.stopPropagation();
    }else{
      // Mark to ignore next click
      $el.data('clicked', true);
      // Unmark after 1 second
      window.setTimeout(function(){
        $el.removeData('clicked');
      }, 1000)
    }
  });
  return this;
};

How we can use it ? exampe please

I could give an example.

On a website I'm building, we hit a problem where if the user clicked on a tab too much to refresh it, sometimes a list would post twice due to ajax calls. Implementing a double click check would control for that so it doesn't happen again.

@RabkinAlex With the code above, and this:

$('*').preventDoubleClick();
