If you're using jquery you can drop this in a master page:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form').submit(function(e) {
$(e.target).find('input[type=submit]').attr('disabled', 'true');
}
});
Now any form that gets submitted, it's submit button will get disabled
immediately. We use a similar technique currently to turn the button into a
wait icon and to overlay a mask on the form
