The main issues is that webkit focuses element, even if its disabled. I modified the attached test case to verify it:- <html><head> <script type="text/javascript"> function setStyle() { document.getElementById("div1").style.background="yellow"; } function setStyle1() { document.getElementById("div2").style.background="red"; } </script></head> <body> <div id="div1" tabIndex="1" onfocus="setStyle()">123456</div > <div id="div2" tabIndex="1" disabled="true" onfocus="setStyle1()">abcdefg</div > </body></html> Currently the disabled attribute is supported only for form control elements. It seems firefox supports "disabled" attributes for all html tags. 1. Is the current webkit behavior is inteded one? 2. Should we support "disabled" attribute for elements other than form controls? Please provide feedback. 558031 3 antaryami.pandia 2012-02-16 02:53:42 -0800 Please provide some feedback. 558196 4 eric 2012-02-16 08:06:42 -0800 http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-fe-disabled disabled only appears to affect form elements. 558271 5 darin 2012-02-16 09:34:17 -0800 If disabling is applied to other types of elements by Firefox, then that’s an extension, not something from the current HTML standards. If we think that’s a desirable feature I suggest we bring it with other folks working on the HTML standard at W3C. I don’t think this is a feature that’s so compelling that we’d want to do it without first discussing it with the others. 558906 6 antaryami.pandia 2012-02-16 21:55:51 -0800 Thanks Eric, Darin for the feedback. I was of the same opinion, since disabled attribute affects only form control elements. Actually the issue was logged as an outline issue, but I found that the issue is with disabled attribute being used with a non-form control element (darin has also updated the title of the issue). Thats the precise reason I asked the feedback of yours, as its not according to spec and also a feature which may not be of that much interest to a web developer. 558933 7 rniwa 2012-02-16 22:42:51 -0800 Also, can we instead talk with Mozilla folks and see they can drop "disabled" content attribute support on non-from-control elements? 558942 8 antaryami.pandia 2012-02-16 22:59:20 -0800 (In reply to comment #7) > Also, can we instead talk with Mozilla folks and see they can drop "disabled" content attribute support on non-from-control elements? So should I log a bug at Mozilla bugzilla or talk on Mozilla dev channel.What would you recommend. 558944 9 rniwa 2012-02-16 23:04:29 -0800 (In reply to comment #8) > (In reply to comment #7) > > Also, can we instead talk with Mozilla folks and see they can drop "disabled" content attribute support on non-from-control elements? > > So should I log a bug at Mozilla bugzilla or talk on Mozilla dev channel.What would you recommend. Asking on #developer might work. 562840 10 antaryami.pandia 2012-02-22 22:28:31 -0800 I had sent a mail to mozila dev forum and as suggested logged a bug in firefox. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729845 Also I think we can close this issue as this is the expected behavior. 573820 11 mounir 2012-03-08 07:35:35 -0800 (In reply to comment #0) > I have 2 divs with tabIndex=1 and one of them is disabled. > If I tab to the disabled element it displays a focus outline. > This is not the case in e.g. Firefox. This is a bug in Gecko/Firefox and we going to fix that. I guess this bug could be marked as WONTFIX. 575945 12 antaryami.pandia 2012-03-11 22:49:19 -0700 It seems I can't close this issue. Request someone with the privilege to close the issue. 575962 13 rniwa 2012-03-11 23:24:13 -0700 Gecko no longer supports disabled attribute on non-form control elements. Closing the bug as wontfix. 25093 2008-11-12 02:46:07 -0800 2008-11-12 02:46:07 -0800 Simple html illustrating outline shown on disabled elements outline_bug.html text/html 110 jl PGh0bWw+Cjxib2R5Pgo8ZGl2IHRhYkluZGV4PSIxIj4xMjM0NTY8L2RpdiA+CjxkaXYgdGFiSW5k ZXg9IjEiIGRpc2FibGVkPSJ0cnVlIj5hYmNkZWZnPC9kaXYgPgo8L2JvZHk+CjwvaHRtbD4=
