I was able to fix a similar issue with a couple of lines of code. I prefer this if you don't want to "alert" to user that they double clicked and just silently ignore the second click.

I just made a global javascript variable that I toggled when my function was executing during a critical section. This kept subsequent function calls from re-executing the same section.

 var criticalSection = false;

 SomeOnClickEventFired = function () {
      if (!criticalSection)
      {
            criticalSection = true;
            //Ajax Time
            criticalSection = false;
      }
 }
