(Maybe my Safari has a bad day today?) :disable_with => "Processing..." works like a breeze! Even more obvious would be “this.disabled=true;” ;-)

You may really need a belt AND suspenders for this one. There are also some subtle side effects of this method. Notably, it becomes very difficult to determine which button was pressed if you have more than one. True enough. You may really need a belt AND suspenders for this one.

However, it needs to be said that one should not rely on JavaScript to solve the double submit problem. You really need some server-side smarts to detect replays since the user could reload the page and resubmit the form.
