JavaScript Submit button hack

On slow server or double clicks often we have double post and double comments on blogs forum, forms, uploading etc. Here is a fast JavaScript hack that can disable the Submit button after the first click.

onclick="myform.submit();this.disabled=true

Here is an example:

<form name=myform action="form.php" method=post">

<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="myform.submit();this.disabled=true">

</form>
