I needed to do this recently. But what I did was, disable the button for only a few seconds so that it's long enough to prevent double clicking and short enough to still carry on if any validation errors etc.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click', ':button', function (e) {
var btn = $(e.target);
btn.attr("disabled", "disabled"); // disable button
window.setTimeout(function () {
btn.removeAttr("disabled"); // enable button
}, 2000 /* 2 sec */);
});
</script>
If you want the button to stay disabled use this
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click', ':button', function (e) {
var btn = $(e.target);
btn.attr("disabled", "disabled"); // disable button
});
</script>
