However, it's important to note that this method is not technically supported by NetSuite. Here's an example of how you can do it:

javascript
function customButtonFunction() {
  var button = document.getElementById('custpage_custom_button');
  button.disabled = true; // Disable the button to prevent double-clicking

  // button action stuff
  // ...

  // once button stuff is done re-enable it
  button.disabled = false;
}

In this example, the button is disabled as the first action when the function is called, preventing the user from clicking it again while the function is running. Once the function has completed its tasks, the button is re-enabled. Another method is to hide the button after it's clicked. This can be done by changing the CSS display property of the button to 'none'. Here's an example:

javascript
const feeButton = document.getElementById('buttonId').style.display = 'none';

In this example, the button disappears after it's clicked. This might be a bit odd from a user experience perspective, but it's a workaround to prevent the button from being clicked again. Remember, these methods are not officially supported by NetSuite and might not work in all cases.
