Question

The following will not show the toolbar tip in Firefox when the button is disabled. It’s a known bug (since 2008)

<button disabled="disabled" class="sel" title="Task: 22">@i</button> 

Is there another way I could simulate “disabled” state using CSS / jQuery?

Answer 1

You could assign a class “disabled”

$('#ele').addClass('disabled');

Then you could bind a click event that checks if the “disabled” is in the cass list, if so, return false to stop the event:

$('#ele').bind('click', function(){
    if($(this).hasClass('disabled'))
    {
         return false;
    }
});

Is this what you were looking for?
