The target page which expects these arguments will get nil values for these controls even if they have a different value. Hence the target page may process wrong values for some disabled controls. This problem can be seen in [[Special:Preferences]]. == Why this is important == We dont want to process wrong values for an input control. == [[DoneDone]] == * The values of disabled controls are ignored or processed correctly. == Steps to produce the problem in My Preferences== * Make a new account at aboutus.org * Log in * Go to 'my preferences' in the sidebar. (You'll notice some checkboxes checked in the E-mail section which are also disabled). * Click 'Save' (You've not changed any setting) * The disabled checkboxes which were checked before, are no unchecked. * Reason: 'What (summary)' == Steps to get to [[DoneDone]] == [[Category:DevelopmentTask]] </noinclude>
