Disable Button while AJAX Request

Question

I\'m trying to disable a button after it\'s clicked. I have tried:

$(\"#ajaxStart\").click(function() {
    $(\"#ajaxStart\").attr(\"disabled\", true);
    $

Put $("#ajaxStart").attr("disabled", false); inside the success function:

$("#ajaxStart").click(function() {
    $("#ajaxStart").attr("disabled", true);
    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://localhost:8080/jQueryTest/test.json',
        data: { 
            action: 'viewRekonInfo'
        },
        type: 'post',
        success: function(response){
            //success process here
            $("#alertContainer").delay(1000).fadeOut(800);

            $("#ajaxStart").attr("disabled", false);
        },
        error: errorhandler,
        dataType: 'json'
    });
});

This will ensure that disable is set to false after the data has loaded... Currently you disable and enable the button in the same click function, ie at the same time.
