Like every other web developer on the planet, I have an issue with users double clicking the submit button on my forms. My understanding is that the conventional way to handle this issue, is to disable the button immediately after the first click, however when I do this, it doesn't post.
I did do some research on this, god knows there's enough information, but other questions like Disable button on form submission, disabling the button appears to work. The original poster of Disable button after submit appears to have had the same problem as me, but there is no mention on how/if he resolved it.
Here's some code on how to repeat it (tested in IE8 Beta2, but had same problem in IE7)
My aspx code

var chk = document.getElementById("chk");
if(chk.checked)
{
var btn = document.getElementById("btn");
btn.disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
