<form action="process.php">
<p><input type="submit" id="submit"></p>

... or you could just do what Alex said. :)

Can i not add anything to that like you do with a text box?
BonRouge's suggestion is cleaner, but is essentially equivalent to this:

<input type='submit' value='Start Game!' onClick='return false'>

I guess that it is ok to use the above if you're just looking for a temporary solution (for whatever reason that you want to disable the form?)

Well I have a line setup like this:

<input type='submit' value='Start Game!' onClick='runGameEngine()'>

Can i not add anything to that like you do with a text box?

<input type='text' size='4' readonly='true'>

Thanks guys for your help!

It would be harder to enable to button once you are ready. Setting the form to # could be easily undone with JavaScript.

Are you trying to make the look where you can tell it is unpushable, like on the IMDB forums, or some download sites? I don't know how to do that, but I'm sure somebody on here does.
