Hi anders,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery UI project.

Adding the

disabled
attribute to a link is not valid HTML. Bad link the first time. Here's the right one http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element.

Unfortunately IE doesn't follow this spec. I guess I'll just have to patch jQuery UI locally.
