jsf commandbutton setenabled onclick

Question

how can I disable a commandbutton (ajaxbutton) when the user clicks on it?

i tried it with:

onclick="javascript:this.disabled='true';"

and

onclick="document.getElementById('buttonid').disabled='true'"

but nothing works?

For your specific problem I think you just need to remove the quotes around 'true'. But also look at this link How can I disable an h:commandButton without preventing the action and actionListener from being called?
