Use the 'onload' event handler for this task. This way, as soon as the document / body is loaded, the button will be in disabled state.

<html>
<head></head>
<body onload="funcToDisable();">
</body>
</html>

Here the 'functionToDisable()' will contain the action which you need to perform when the document loads.

That all being said, you should realize that the HTTP is a stateless protocol so you can't keep the button enabled on the first try and disabled on all consecutive reloads since there is way of knowing it. Your best bet would be to keep a flag at the server which will keep track whether its the users' first visit or not and act accordingly.
