(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.01
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When you view this page the first time, it comes up OK, but then if you refresh 
it the 'Administrator' checkbox becomes unticked.

The key seems to be the line of Javascript which removes the 'disabled' flag on 
the checkbox. That works OK the first time the page is displayed, but on 
refreshes the checkbox isn't checked like it should be

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the above page
2. Refresh it
3.

Actual Results:  
The 'Administrator' checkbox was enabled and cleared after the refresh

Expected Results:  
The 'Administrator' checkbox should have been enabled and checked after the 
refresh as it was before it.

I can confirm this with a Firefox 1.0 build on winxpsp2 but not in a recent deer
park build. 

This isn't really JavaScript engine, but is more related to DOM HTML. Moving
over and marking works for me since it is fixed on the trunk and 1.0.x is locked
down for security fixes and major regressions only.
