How to stop invoking a method more than one times when this method has  
submitted to server.My shopping system have methods to manage  
bill,ship,pay…  
But i found when i was submitting a method such as bill,i can still  
flush or use keyboard in the browser to invoke this method many  
times.This will make one cart corresponding many  
bill,ship,pay…parts.But i wish that one cart can only correspond one  
bill,ship,pay…part.How do i make this reality?  
Thank you

You could use JavaScript to disable the submit after the first time.

Use the :disable\_with parameter in your form submit tag
