The input button is not acting like a submit button because it's /not/ a
submit button (type="button"). It is inert, insofar as form actions are
concerned.

That would be true if the intrinsic event handler included a return
statement but as it doesn't, there would be no cancellation of the
default action. That is to say:

<input type="submit" ... onsubmit="doFoo(); return true;">

and:

<input type="submit" ... onsubmit="doFoo();">

are functionally equivalent. It's the lack of a default action in itself
that's possibly a problem, but that depends on whether the OP's example
accurately represents what's being tested.

Absolutely!

If the attribute is given a value, that value /must/ be "disabled". In
HTML (but not XHTML), it would also be valid to simply write the
attribute name; the value would be assumed.
