onclick="this.disabled=true;"

onclick="this.disabled=true;" is working for me in IE but not in Firefox. Below is the code.

                        <a4j:commandLink action="#{accountVerificationAction.byPass}"
                                         onclick="this.disabled=true;"
                                         rerender="verificationModal"
                                        styleClass="button">
                            <span class="inner-button">Submit</span>
                        </a4j:commandLink>

Ultimately I am trying to grey out the "Submit" button by using the following code.

onclick="setTimeout('document.getElementById(\'' + this.id + '\').disabled=true;', 50);" styleClass="button">


but onclick="this.disabled=true;" is not working for me at the first place in Firefox.
