I am building on tvanfosson 's answer. His answer using jQuery works well, but if you have validators it messes things up. Here goes:

var code = null;
$(document).ready(function () {
    var button = $('#SubmitPaymentLnkBtn');
    code = button.attr('href').replace(/javascript:/, ''); 
    button.attr('href', '#'); // replace postback function
    button.click(function () {
        if (Page_ClientValidate('PaymentInfo')) {
                           // now only runs if above validationGroup is valid
            $(this).unbind('click'); 
            if (code) {
                $(this).addClass('disabled-btn');
                eval(code);  // do post back
            } 
        }
    });
});

Then in your markup, be sure to set ClientIDMode to Static.
