The 'disabled' attribute is for the form elements themselves, they
don't "cascade" down the parents. Also, in XHTML the disabled
attribute doesn't use a boolean value. This should disable all form
input elements:
$('table:input').attr('disabled','disabled');
(:input is a pseudo-selector for input,textarea and select)
