Handle it both in the front end and in the back end:
1) In Javascript on submit, change the submit button to read "Please wait..."
2) In Javascript on submit, check if the submit button is already "Please wait..." or
not
3) In CF, include in the form a hidden variable <input type=hidden name=transactionid
value=#genuuid()#>
4) In CF, when handling the form action, check to make sure the transactionID is not
already used
