Attribute Values are not correctly set

[maheshep]

This is a small bug that's very rare to identified and not human threat. But still a bug.

Scenario is I need to disable a button

For that i used $("#idButton").attr('disabled', 'disabled');

okay now comes the problem when i look into source, it's written as <input id="idButton" disabled="">

but the expected result is <input id="idButton" disabled="disabled">

the javascript has also this bug when i use document.getElementById('idButton').disabled = "diabled";

but javascript works fine on and only on document.getElementById('idButton').setAttribute('disabled','disabled');

but javascript works fine on and only on document.getElementById('idButton').setAttribute('disabled','disabled');

This sounds like more of an issue with Firebug (or whatever source viewer you're using) then with jQuery itself - since the result is working.

I don't think that this is something that we're going to explicitly tackle.
