Guys, i found the problem: If the disabled attribute has no value, then selenium cannot find it using the generated xpath. example html would be: <select disabled id="d"> this is allowed by the major browsers.
I have created a testcase for this, but i am connected to the readonly repository for tellurium right now, and its painful to switch, so i created a patch with the tests which ill attach as a file to the group. As far as the solution goes: It may not be possible to do with xpath, in which case, it would be good if we changed the way selenium.jar is started, so that we pass in the core-extensions.js file as an arg, and merge in my jquery work. after the jquery extensions are in, it will be easy to write a jquery workaround for isEnabled and isDisabled functions to call custom js.
