We use the following in the HEAD HTML

<script>
function submitonce(theform){
//if IE 4+ or NS 6+
if (document.all||document.getElementById){
//screen thru every element in the form, and hunt down "submit" and "reset"
for (i=0;i<theform.length;i++){
var tempobj=theform.elements[i]
if(tempobj.type.toLowerCase()=="submit"||tempobj.type.toLowerCase()=="reset"
)
//disable em
tempobj.disabled=true
}
}
}
</script>

Then the form action

<FORM ACTION="[process secure=1]" METHOD="POST"
onSubmit="submitonce(this)">

Disables the "submit" button on click
