1376729 - disabled-attribute on link-element does not take effect

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1281135

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Mannsfeld]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I added a link-element for a stylesheet in my html head and set the attribute disabled.

<link id="stylesheet" rel="stylesheet" href="..." disabled>


Actual results:

The stylesheet takes effect and all styles will applied until I disabled the link element with javascript:

document.getElementById('stylesheet').disabled = false


Expected results:

Firefox should support disabling stylesheets or simply should let it be. If I do it with javascript or with html should be the same.

I prefer to support disabling stylesheets.

Latest spec draft states disabled is unset by default. I can imagine use cases for having stylesheets disabled in the markup though, and I like the suggestion.
