A button which has been set to "disabled" via javscript, remains disabled even when the page is refreshed. This is true, even if no property to the button is changed on page-load.

However, a re-request of a webpage (retyping the URL and hitting enter) solves this problem. But why isnt the refreshed page setting the button to its original state?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.navigate to a page
2.click a button which javascripts disables on an 'onclick' event
3.hit the browser's 'refresh' button

Actual Results:  
the button remainds disabled.

Expected Results:  
the button returns to the browser default state for a button (enabled)
