Answer 1

If you're using this validation plugin, it comes with a valid() method.

  jQuery('input[type=submit]').click(function() {
      var self = $(this);

      if (self.data('clicked')) {
          return false;
      } else if (self.closest('form').valid()) {
          self.data('clicked', true);

          return true;
      };
  });

or even:

  jQuery('input[type=submit]').click(function(event) {
      var self = $(this);   

      if (self.closest('form').valid()) {
          self.attr('disabled', true);
      };
  });
