For some reason, IE doesn’t prevent the event from bubbling when you click a disabled submit button.

I assume you have some other event handler on an ancestor that is therefore being triggered.

In that ancestor’s event handler, it looks like you’ll need to test to see if the submit button was clicked and if it is disabled. If so, you’ll return false; to prevent the code from running, or the submit from occurring, or whatever.

       // Not sure if this is the right event, but you get the idea
$( someSelector ).click(function( event ) {
    var $target  = $(event.target);
                  // check to see if the submit was clicked
                  //    and if it is disabled, and if so,
                  //    return false
    if( $target.is(':submit:disabled') ) {
        return false;
    }
});
