Dealing with a button that saves user-edited content can be quite tricky. The last thing you want is for users to hammer on the save button multiple times, causing unnecessary strain on your server. One common solution is to disable the button after it has been clicked.
var active = true;
$("#save").click(function() {
if (!active) return;
active = false;
// Your saving logic goes here
active = true;
However, this approach doesn't prevent users from clicking the button repeatedly before the saving process is complete. To address this issue, you can enable the button only after the onclick code has finished executing.
