With the disabled elements jQuery is not able to detect the mouse events (mouseout, mousein, mouseover). To fix this issue this plugin has been created.
You can apply the plugin to some specific elements, or to a top element:
$('#mydisabledelement,.other-elements').detectmouseoverdisabled();
$('form').detectmouseoverdisabled(); // all the disabled INPUT, TEXTAREA and SELECT elements are used
$('form').detectmouseoverdisabled({ele:'input,textarea'}); // only the disabled INPUT and TEXTAREA are used
