Hi Sean,
disabled="disabled" is ok for me - I belong to the people who deliver
their XHTML as real XML ;-)
Still you have to keep in mind that it is a boolean attribute and the
DOM interface for enabling/disabling is to set a boolean value.
And I furthermore encourage you to not rely on w3schools instead of the
real W3C specs.
