Disable a button with a client script

However, it's important to note that this method is not technically supported by NetSuite. Here is an example of how you can disable a button:

javascript
function customButtonFunction() {
  var button = document.getElementById('custpage_custom_button');
  button.disabled = true; // Disable the button to prevent double-clicking

  // button action stuff
  // ...

  // once button stuff is done re-enable it
  button.disabled = false;
}

In this example, the button is disabled as the first action when the function is called. This prevents the user from double-clicking the button. Once the actions associated with the button are completed, the button is re-enabled. Another method is to change the CSS class of the button to 'pgBntGDis', which is the class NetSuite uses to gray out and disable buttons. However, this method may not work in all cases as it depends on the specific implementation of the button. Please note that these methods are workarounds and may not work in all cases or for all types of buttons. Always test thoroughly to ensure the desired behavior is achieved.
