ASP.NET 2.0 Button One Click

Ok, so this was an issue in 1.1 but I could always do a work around using this.Page.GetPostBackEventReference(this) to force the post and some javascript. Now with 2.0 I can't seem to get it to work. Anyone got a good solution for 2.0 that allows a button/image button to be clicked only once?
You can't set it to disabled=true because then the server side will presume it is disabled. And the data won't be posted correctly.
I can't figure out where the WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions is done, any ideas on that one as well?
ok, if anyone knows or has the server control that will work for either imagebutton or button for this I appreciate it.

this still gives the same issue.... the button doesn't post back once.

nvm solved it myself.
Basically created a server control that writes out 2 divs, 1) = the button or image button, 1 = the stuff to show while the backend is processing.
wrap the onclick event of the button/imagebutton with the following javascript code at the pre-render state
if(Page_ClientValidate( TheValidationGroupName )){ myScript; TheOriginalOnClick;}

the I created a small javascript framework that gets called and swaps out the display property of the divs.

You will want to re-write a bunch of it but it is a great way to start to solve this problem. Today mike is my hero

But remember to update the system to work in 2.0 correctly and support groupvalidations
