You can simply do this: <form action="http://msn.com/"; onsubmit="var btn = document.getElementById('btn'); btn.disabled=true; btn.value='Please wait...'"> <input type="submit" id="btn" value="test"> </form>
However, if you actually need the value of the submit button (e.g. if you have several different buttons) then you need to be smarter. What you can do is have two buttons for each: one real button and one hidden and disabled. When the form submits, you hide the real buttons and show the disabled ones. It looks like the real ones have become disabled, but really you're just swapping which one is visible.

I have seen it around before, but can't recall the solution. Eg, After clicking, the button text changes to "Please wait", and becomes disabled, and the form submits still.....
