I have used the 'disable the submit button' before and there are some 
caveats.  I have had put the disable code into a function that is 
called with a short setTimeout() because some browsers wouldn't include 
the submit button in the form data if the button is diabled before th 
form is submitted.  You could extend this technique to add a second 
longer setTimeout() to re-enable the button.
