Firefox does not show tooltips on disabled input fields

compatibility, cross-browser, firefox, html

Solution

Seems to be a (very old, and very abandoned) bug. See Mozilla Bugs #274626 #436770

I guess this could also be explained as intended behaviour.

One horrible Workaround that comes to mind is to overlap the button with an invisible div with a `title` attribute using `z-index`; another to somehow re-activate the button 'onmouseover' but to cleverly intercept and trash any `click` event on that button.

Problem

Firefox doesn't display tooltips on disabled fields. The following displays tooltip in IE/Chrome/Safari except Firefox: ``` <input type="text" disabled="disabled" title="tooltip text."/> ``` Why doesn't Firefox display tooltip on disabled fields? Is there a work around this?
