[jira] [Updated] (TAP5-1628) Have Submit documentation explicitly state when the disabled attribute is evaluated

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1628?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Steve Eynon updated TAP5-1628:
------------------------------

    Description: 
The "disabled" attribute for a Submit button is currently loosely documented as :

" ... Further, a disabled field ignores any value in the request when the form is submitted."

http://tapestry.apache.org/5.3/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/components/Submit.html

I would like it to be more explicit, along the lines of:

" ... Further, if bound, the disabled attribute is re-evaluated upon form submission and the "selected" event is only fired should it evaluate to 'false'."

For this stumped us in work today for a good half hour - it was because we weren't @Persist'ing our disabled attribute. Our expression was t:disabled="!myObject" and of course 'myObject' because null / false on form submission. As our submit button was enabled and the form submitted, we saw no reason for the event not to fire.
