Your best bet would be to contact the page's author, Johannes Koch, and ask him. One explanation might be that the disabled attribute is not standards-compliant for the link and style elements in HTML/XHTML [1]. It _is_ legal in the DOM [2], however, so it may be implemented through scripting (an unfortunate discrepancy, IMO, that appears to remain in the XHTML 2.0 working draft [3]). 1. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-disabled 2. http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/stylesheets.html#StyleSheets-StyleShe et-disabled 3. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-styleSheet.html#s_styleSheetmodule James Aylard
