Description Anne 2009-09-12 10:01:37 UTC 
The current example of <fieldset> does not work because when a <fieldset> is disabled all descendant form controls are disabled, including those inside <legend>.

Either the definition of a disabled <fieldset> should be changed or the example.

(I'll ask the guy who implemented this in Opera to see if it makes matters much more complicated or just a little to make the example work.)

Should only child legends be skipped?

<fieldset disabled>
 <figure>
  <legend><input>

Checked in as WHATWG revision r3922.
Check-in comment: <fieldset disabled> shouldn't disable the fieldset's legend's form controls.
