Here’s how the button looks like in default:

<button class="btn primary bidbutton">Bid Now!</button>

And in Javascript, during a certain event, I do the following:

$(this).siblings('.bidbutton').addClass("disabled");
$(this).siblings('.bidbutton').attr("disabled", "");

So basically this is supposed to disable the button from being clicked in a given event.

When I refresh the page, sometimes this dynamically assigned style is still applied.

Why?

Should it display it’s default, manually set, style on the page?

    I can reproduce the problem with code similar to yours on FireFox v7.0.1. IE7 doesn’t do it. Caching sometimes gets in the way of what you think should happen on a refresh. On some OS’s/browsers you can do a [CTRL + F5] refresh or hit [Enter] key in the address bar to force a reload (yes, it corrects the issue in FireFox).

    There’s an autocomplete attribute which can disable caching, but it doesn’t help in this case. You are at the mercy of the browser.
