If I disable jQueryUI button using "disabled" option, button goes dim. But I don't want it that way - I just want it unresponsive and styled in its original layout - no rollovers, no clicks - everything dead.
Unbinding button click from button doesn't help. Unbinding all events from button using unbind() just as well.
Any ideas?
In fact, you could just remove the "disabled" classes after disabling the button:
$( "button" ).button();
$( "button" ).button('disable');
$( "button" ).removeClass('ui-button-disabled ui-state-disabled')
