Should the HTML Anchor Tag Honor the Disabled Attribute?

Viewed 36067

If I create an HTML anchor tag and set the disabled attribute to true, I get different behaviors in different browsers (surprise! surprise!).

I created a fiddle to demonstrate.

In IE9, the link is grayed out and does not transfer to the HREF location. In Chrome/FF/Safari, the link is the normal color and will transfer to the HREF location.

What should the correct behavior be? Is IE9 rendering this incorrectly and I should implement some CSS and javascript to fix it; or is Chrome/FF/Safari not correct and will eventually catch up?

Thanks in advance.
