Thanks, I inserted the alert and get the message  [object].  I was not 
too worried about a duplicate ID as I am using CSS extensively and have 
made sure that all ID's are unique.

I had left off the "  ; " at the end of a sentence as an earlier post 
noticed. However correcting this had no noticeable effect on the page.  
I should add that the javascript is called from the aspx.cs file using 
the following code:

 ImageButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:submitonce();return 
false;");

Here's the JS code (which isn't working).



<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var submitted=false
function submitonce(theform)
{    
   if(submitted){return false}
     var ProceedButton = document.getElementById('ImageButton1');
     ProceedButton.disabled = true;
     submitted=true;
  return (true);
}
</script>
