How to Properly Disable a Button on Form Submission with JavaScript

Form validation is crucial in web development to ensure that users provide the correct type and format of data before submission. Many developers encounter issues with buttons not disabling even when there is an error detected. This post will delve into how you can effectively disable a button to prevent form submission when validation fails.

The Problem

You might be facing a situation where you have implemented JavaScript to disable a submit button if there is an error during form validation, yet you find that the button remains active and the form continues to submit.

An Example Scenario

Consider the following:

You have a form that allows users to upload images.

Users should only be able to submit an image file that is less than 3 MB.

Conclusion

Implementing effective form validation and controlling button states is essential in building user-friendly applications. By following the provided example and using specific selectors for buttons, you can prevent form submissions when errors occur. This helps maintain data integrity and enhances the user experience on your web application.
