---------------------------------------------

Hi ,

This change in code have break the disabled atribute behavior. 
How disabled will work now ? I have a field required in new record, and disabled in edit mode.
And destroy  the displayValueOnly enhancement in tomahawk.

> A component with a required value will not fail validation as expected if the submitted value is null. This issue is not seen normally because browsers send the value for an empty text field as an empty string. That is, the POST data for an empty field1 will contain the field name but no value, like field1=&field2=something. However, if you use a man-in-the-middle proxy such as Paros to remove "fieldname=" from the POST data, the submitted value will be null. UIInput.validate() skips validation for null submitted values, but since requiredness is also part of validation, the requiredness check gets skipped, too.
