We need to support the "disabled" attribute on many HTML form elements, such as a button: <input type="button" value="Test" disabled="true"> - This button should appear disabled (grayed out) - clicking on it should NOT fire an event - the disabled attribute needs to be exposed to the DOM so it can be set through JavaScript. Obviously the semantics will vary slightly among elements (for example, a disabled text area may be grayed out and never get focus)

Note that there's a proposed CSS3 pseudo class called :disabled. We should keep this in mind when architecting support for this. Adding PeterL to the cc list so he catches this.

I can't change the value of the disabled attribute through the DOM (it's not actually affecting the form element).

Is this bug fixed or reopened? Status and Resolution contradict each other. I have determined that the disable works in Raptor - is there any further to be fixed?

This bug is not yet fixed. I changed the summary to reflect the part that isn't working. Working: disabled attribute on an HTML form element Not working: changing disabled attribute on an HTML form element through the DOM Right now, I think the bug is waiting to be assigned to either Chris or Eric. I've just added pollmann to the cc: list, since he'll probably want the bug. I'm taking kipp and peterl off the cc: list. I'm clearing the resolution (sorry for not doing that earlier).

Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

This is implemented for most elements. Still remaining: Selects Options and HTML4 Buttons.

per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

Reassigning qa contact to cpratt@netscape.com

CC'ing Eric Vaughan on this one: the disabled attribute is not implemented for HTML 4 buttons.

Redistributing to M8...

Is this bug fixed or not ? No where it says that its fixed, but it has resolution resolved fixed.

Verifying it's fixed, Eric Vaughn marked it fixed on May 14. I also just tested it at blueviper/forms/test.html and disabling the button through js seemed to work.
