Prevent double submission of forms in jQuery

Question

I have a form that takes a little while for the server to process. I need to ensure that the user waits and does not attempt to resubmit the form by clicking the button agai

I solved a very similar issue using:

$("#my_form").submit(function(){
    $('input[type=submit]').click(function(event){
        event.preventDefault();
    });
});
