    Unable to disable div contents in Firefox 2

    I have the following piece of code:

    [CODE=html]<html >
    <body>
    <div disabled="disab led">
    <input type="checkbox" />Try this
    </div>
    </body>
    </html>[/CODE]

    In IE, the check box is disabled, but not in firefox. It works if disabled attribute is set on checkbox element itself. But in my project, I have number of such checkboxes, so I wanted to know if there was a way to disable the div so that its children too will be disabled? Why isn't the disabled attribute value inherited by the children of div element in firefox?

      Never, ever use IE as a reference for how things should work.

      Attributes in HTML are not inherited. There is no such thing as a 'disabled' attribute on <div>. So you are asking Firefox to do something against the standard. Never, ever trust IE.
