why can't fields in table disabled?

[hzasp]

the js code: $("form").children().attr("disabled", "disabled");

the html code: successed:------------------------ <form>

<input type="text" > <input type="text" > <textarea></textarea> <input type="submit">

</form>

while failed:-------------------- <form>

<table> <tr><td>

<input type="text" > </td></tr>

<tr><td>

<input type="text"> </td></tr>

<tr><td>

<textarea></textarea> </td></tr>

<tr><td>

<input type="submit"> </td></tr>

</table> </form>

They just can't. There's no special behavior for a disabled table.
