Must Click Buttons Before Moving to Next Page
July 15, 2009 12:00 AM
Another approach (which doesn't leave a gaping hole where the Next button should be) is to leave the Next button there, but, if the user clicks on it before the variable conditions are all met, have it display a message reminding them that they need to click on all of the buttons before they can continue.
A second option is to have another Next button that's styled to look "grayed out" (inactive), that's replaced by the more active-looking one when the conditions are met.
wnichols said: To ensure that an over zealous user doesn't try clicking on the next button over and over getting frustrated because it won't work we also ad a hide action to the page keeping the next button hidden until all button variables are equal to 1. Probably overkill, but we are covered in case for some reason the next button were to show up.
