Carl on our side we also use some javascript, but instead of changing the onClick action of the anchor/button we show the overlay div from the lightbox method over the screen after 1 second we update this to show a lightbox / modal dialog saying please wait and after a minute we add a message saying something appears to have gone wrong click here to refresh.<div>
<br></div><div>We do this in the following circumstances.</div><div><br></div><div>1. When a user clicks on an anchor or button.</div><div>2. A Prototype or jQuery request is made to the server. The overlay and lightbox are removed when the request returns.</div>
<div>3. When a page is loading. This prevents another issue that users can click on a submit button before the form tag has been closed which causes them to get redirected to the initial page.</div><div><br></div><div><br>

When I access my Seaside application using my iPhone over a 3G connection it is very easy to click on an anchor and then click on it or another anchor before I get a response. This often becomes a problem because the underlying state of my application is no longer valid for the second click. Clearly it makes sense for Seaside to handle this intelligently.<br>
