Dialog: dialog('disable') does not disable OK/Cancel buttons inside dialog

[BegemoT]

Let me have a dialog with some form inside it, and Save/Cancel buttons. When user press Save I send form data to server via ajax. To prevent user from doing any movements while bytes are running back and forth I disable dialog ( dlg.dialog('disable') ). But this disabling only inputs in my form, not Save/Cancel buttons! I expect them to be disabled too.

Note that this is not happening only when opening a new dialog but even When calling the disable method of the dialog it only change the UI to semi-transparent. this is not what would be expected from the "Disable" method.

Possible workaround\ solution: Then I did the following workaround: ​http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/p7tV7/15/

Some questions related to disabled buttons:

1) If you disable buttons with the dialog this will lock the entire UI if the dialog is modal. Is this desirable?

2) What about the close icon in the header?

3) What about the header itself?...Should the dialog remain draggable in a disabled state?

Disabling dialogs doesn't really make sense. You can easily disable the individual buttons if you want. I'm inclined to actually remove the disabled option from dialog.
