Why disabled attribute doesnt work

[Emilio de la Torre]

Hi, im a newbie in web development. Ive been looking at examples on the web, and several of them use the attribute disabled="disabled" in a button or a link but doesnt seen to work for me

Is there a specific reason for this?

Thanks

Works for me with buttons: http://jsfiddle.net/Bcmq5/

Can you show your code that is not working?
