I would like to code my submit web control button with a timer on it. Its suppose to allow submission until time goes up and the button is disabled from submission. Any directions or tutorials on this?

easiest way is javascript

<html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function setDisableButtonTimer(){ disableButtonTimer = setInterval("disableButton()", 5000); } function disableButton(){ document.form1.btnSubmit.disabled = true; clearInterval(disableButtonTimer); } --> </script> </head> <body onload="setDisableButtonTimer();"> <FORM ACTION="test.asp" METHOD="POST" name="form1" > <SELECT NAME="MyListBox" Size="11" MULTIPLE> <OPTION VALUE="0">CustomerID <OPTION VALUE="1">CompanyName <OPTION VALUE="2">ContactName <OPTION VALUE="3">ContactTitle <OPTION VALUE="4">Address <OPTION VALUE="5">City <OPTION VALUE="6">Region <OPTION VALUE="7">PostalCode <OPTION VALUE="8">Country <OPTION VALUE="9">Phone <OPTION VALUE="10">Fax </SELECT><P> <INPUT TYPE=submit name="btnSubmit" >&nbsp;&nbsp <INPUT TYPE=reset> </FORM> </body> </html>

Campkev, are the above the essential parts i need to have in the html page? Also how do i run the script for the ASP.NET web control button since i have to call 2 functions?
