HTML Form, onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='Sending, please wait...'; return false;" disables the button but never submits the form

I am making a simple image board and the onclick function is being very finicky.

<div id="makeApost">
    <form name="post" method="post" action="post.php?new" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
        <table class="postForm" id="postForm">
            <caption><h1>Create Thread</h1></caption>
            <tr data-type="Comment">
                <td style="background-color:#ff33ff;">Comment</td>
                <td>
                    <textarea id="com" name="com" cols="48" rows="4" wrap="soft"></textarea>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr data-type="File" >
                <td style="background-color:#ff33ff;">File</td>
                <td><input id="file" name="file" type="file"></td>
                <td><input id="submit" type="submit" onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='Sending, please wait...'; this.form.submit();"></td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </form>
</div>

This is the post form, i have also tried:

<td><input id="submit" type="submit" onclick="this.form.submit();this.disabled=true;this.value='Sending, please wait...';"></td>

But this does not disable the button when it has been pressed and allows for multiple submits which could lead to spamming.

Disable the button on submit of the form, not the click of the button.

<form onsubmit="document.getElementById('btnSubmit').disabled=true;">
    <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" />
</form>
