How to prevent form submiting before DOM is ready?

I'm using javascript to validate the form,

but can't 开发者_如何转开发handle the case when the form is submitted before DOM is ready

I tried :

<form method="POST" disabled="disabled">
<input type="submit" />
</form>

But the form can still be submited.

Just a check before submit just to prevent a post before Dom ready.

<form method="POST" onsubmit="return handle()">
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

<script>

   function handle()
   {
       return imReady;
   }

   var imReady = false;
   function setReady()
   {
      imReady = true;          
   }

   // edit: add this line
   window.onDomReady = setReady();
</script>

One braindead way would be to keep the submit button (or form) disabled and enable it within the window or the body's onload event. E.g:

window.onload = function() {
  document.getElementById("mySubmit").disabled = false;

  //or maybe
  document.forms[0].disabled = false;
}

Use jQuery to create the submit button on DOM load

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("form").append("<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>");
}

This will however create a dependency on javascript for your application

Or another option is to place the following code

<form action="post.php" method="post" onsubmit="return false">

Check this blog entry, it describes how to check for DOM readiness. Then, create a function which returns true when DOM is ready and use this function inside your form tag:

<form onsubmit="return my_DOM_ready_function()">
