I'm surprised that setting disabled even succesfully greys out the
button. For a WOHyperlink, setting disabled to true simply makes the
hyperlink disappear entirely. Really, HTML does not provide any
facilities for automatically 'disabling' a button like this. [Unless
there's something in CSS I don't know about---but even if there is, I'm
confident that the built in WO elements are not using any CSS].
Well according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.12
one can have disabled controls. The behavior in Safari is to render
it gray but it can still submit. A Webkit-based Omniweb ditto. IE, on
the
other hand, renders it gray and does not submit. The HTML/HTTP spec
being what
it is I can't tell if it's a bug in Webkit or not.
My initial (and current again) inclination is to just wrap the button
in a
WOConditional. But I thought, naively (I hate the Web), that setting it
disabled would be better.
Thanks for your feedback.
