I believe that you can use the attribute reliably in all browsers, if
you stick to this pattern:
- to disable, add the attribute: elt.setAttribute("disabled", "disabled")
- to re-enable, remove the attribute: elt.removeAttribute("disabled")
I don't know of any browsers that don't support that model, but I will
confess that I haven't tested it explicitly in a while.
