I don't have an opinion on whether we should disable vs disappear for
the timezone field in this case. Either option is acceptable for
Preview so we should just do what is easiest technically. I do think
we need to make one of these changes since currently it simply looks
like it's enabled but doesn't work. It looks the same as the date
field and when I click on that, I can edit.
Matthew, I am running on an Intel Mac and I am using Firefox 2.0.0.3.
Cheers,
Sheila

Right, at some level the question of disable versus disappear
becomes an opinion question. There are obvious places where one or
the other is clearly better, and some cases like this where it's
debatable.
My point is that making this element go away was being proposed as
the solution to a problem that Sheila seems to be having where
disabled form elements are not appearing properly disabled.
Hiding the element may be a good idea on its own merit, but we need
to fix the actual problem rather than glossing over it.
