I noticed the following bug when using $(selector).children().attr(\"disabled\", \"disabled\")
where the children happened to contain a
There is no disabled
attribute for the div
element. So it should have no effect.
<div>
elements do not have a disabled
attribute according to the HTML specification. The expected behavior is to prevent your markup from validating correctly.
However, the new HTML5 specification allows for <fieldset>
to have a disabled
attribute, which disables any nested input fields. It's not widely supported yet though, so you won't be able to rely on this feature for a while.
