[Bug 228042] [NEW] disabled="disabled" on <input> non-functional

[Larry Hartman]

Public bug reported:

Laptop running Kubuntu Hardy with Apache2/PHP5/MySQL5 webserver.
PHP/HTML code developed and functional with Firefox 2 under Ubuntu Gutsy
with same server arrangement.

I have a submit button named "reset" that when clicked, the server
assigns php variable the text: disabled="disabled".  Several <input>
controls have this variable embedded in the html code.  The server
successfully makes the variable assignment; however, the inputs remain
fully functional (enabled) in firefox.  When I right-click on the page
and view source, the html <input> code shows disabled="disabled" in the
appropriate spots.

Here is one instance of the exact php/html script:

echo "<input type=\"submit\" class=\"MDPbtn\" name=\"btnSngRecUpd\" 
		value=\"Update\" $btnSngRecUpd tabindex=\"4\"/>\n";

Here is the server output of this instance viewed as page source:

<input type="submit" class="MDPbtn" name="btnSngRecUpd" 
		value="Update" disabled="disabled" tabindex="4"/>

I double checked the XHTML specs to verify that disabled="disabled" is
not deprecated.  The only substantial difference in my server/client
setup is Firefox 3 versus Firefox 2.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
