I'd prefer to not rely on JS for the form submission where possible, due to
the 1 in 8 who don't have it enabled in their browser. So I'll just use
the onClick to change the value, but not disable the button. Hopefully
changing the button should deter most idiots from quadruple-clicking the
submit.

Please
respond to

No
I mean you should have a type = button and onclick="Validate();"
and the last 3 lines of the validatrion function should be
document.myForm.myButton.value='please wait';
document.myForm.myButton.disabled='true';
document.myForm.submit();
that way the form will submit if all validates correctly
Some browsers (I cant remember which but I think IE5.0)
will not submit if the submit button is disabled
this solution takes the submitting away from the built in Submit() method
of
the type = submit and lets JS handle it
seems a bit easier to control that way
*shrug*
I like it
