[jQuery] disable submit not working in IE7

[GBartels]

I'm using JQuery 1.2.6 with the following script:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function(){ $("button.submitButton").click(function
() {
$(this).attr("disabled","true").html("Processing, please wait...");
$("button").attr("disabled","true"); }) });
// --></script>

It works as expected in FF3 but is is slightly broken in
IE7. On initial click, the submit button appears to take focus, on
second
click, the "Processing..." message appears and the button is disabled.
The
problem is that it the form is then never submitted. Any ideas on how
I might "fix" this to work in IE7 as well?

Thanks!
