[Twisted-web] Formless disabling widget

[Suha Onay]

Hi,

Changing annotate.py and adding a "disabled" attribute, as you said,
is not the best solution. Also writing custom render methods is lots of work
and error prone. The best way I think is adding custom attributes to '
annotate.Typed'.
custom_attributes dictionary is a good solution. By this way adding any
attribute is easy.
But since it should be done at nevow level, I will prefer writing custom
render methods
to the needed widgets.

Thanks for all your help.
Regards,

Suha



As far as I know, it is impossible to add custom attributes without
