Disable submit button order

by

Fixed the issue. Was calling the incorrect IDs. Below is the code I used for anybody else wanting to achieve the same outcome.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $(".button#place_order").click(function () {
       $(".button#place_order").attr("disabled", true);
       $('.checkout').submit();
     });
});
</script>
