I use a javascript function to disable some radio buttons at run time as well as enable a submit button. After the script runs (triggered by an onclick event) the radio button elements disable properly. Yet upon a refresh of the window they remain disabled when they should return their unaltered state just as the submit button does (it returns to its disabled state properly).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Javascript to disable radio buttons
2. Refresh page
3. Radio buttons remain disabled

Actual Results:  
The radio buttons remained disabled.

Expected Results:  
The radio buttons should have been enabled as they were the first time the page was visited.

This bug was related specifically to the radio buttons saving their disabled states in the Form Manager, although other form elements such as the submit button do not save their disabled state in the Form Manager. This is inconsistent, and in saving the disabled state of the radio buttons causes a problem. This is something that requires attention, and is not a bug relating to the greater principles of the Form Manager, just the saving of the disabled state of the radio button.

Well, no, it's nothing to do with the Form Manager, which remembers values in submitted type="text" inputs between sessions.

Ok, then what appears to be the cause of the bug?
