disable submit button on first click...

[nelco]

I am looking for a java script function which will disable the submit button on first click. Aim is not to allow the user to click submit button twice till the next page is shown.
I am having a problem with users when the connection is slow and they click twice -it result in more than one data being created for the same code / date/ discount.
Any help will be appreciated.

try:

<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true;" />

Thanks CLFlaVA. I tried that and found that this was diabling the button but not submitting the form.
I used following code and works good.
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--
var submitted = false;
function SubmitTheForm() {
if(submitted == true) { return; }

document.form1.submit();
document.form1.Submit.value = 'Thank You!';
document.form1.Submit.disabled = true;
submitted = true;
}
//--></script>

This works good. Thanks for the help.

that's fine, just keep in mind that your form won't submit if a user has javascript disabled.
