Actually you can disable a button (I believe starting with HTML 4.0).
For example:
<input type="submit" disabled="disabled" />
This even works well for a css styled button.

You know that HTML does not provide a "disabled" button?- so what do you
expect? in case of link its easy as its just underlined text, but what do
you want in case of button? - img wont work, as usually CSS styles it, text
isnt a button.... so the options are gone

Betreff: Re: [Wicket-user] Link#setEnabled( false ) does not
disable button element
I disagree about that.
Methods semantics for components should be uniform, this is
the most important rule for API simplicity and coherence.
If Button#setEnabled( false ) is rendering a button in
disabled state, I will expect that Link#setEnabled( false )
attached to a <input type="button"
/> tag will do the same.
I know that this is a very little thing, but great stuff are
made of little things also.
Thanks,

Well, a Link can be attached to any HTML element so I think
it can not
know (in general) how to render the element disabled. A Button
component can only be attached to an html button; for an
html button
it is known what to do.
One could argue that the Link component can see what type
of element
it is attached to and do something appropriate. But that
would blow up
the implementation of Link which is probably not a good thing.

The onclick handler will not be invoked (disabled) but it
does not
apper as a disabled component.
Instead invoking Button#setEnabled( false ) will render
the button
disabled.
I think it would be simpler if it will be rendered
disabled in both
cases. Won't be?
