Simplest solution is to keep submit button disabled by default, and then 
enabling it by javascript when page is loaded.

Technically it can be done like this.

# While writing submit tag, keep it disabled by default.
# In the form where this button exists, put javascript code at the end of page 
to make it enabled.

By this way until page will get reloaded, Submit button would not be available 
in press/click mode.
