Description

          <h:commandLink disabled="true" onclick="alert('hello')" type="button">link</h:commandLink>
AND
          <h:commandLink disabled="true" onclick="alert('hello')" type="button" value="link" />

Result in:

<span onclick="alert('hello')" type="button">link</span>

I would have expected to find a disabled <a ...></a> or a span without the onclick action.

In comparison a disabled h:commandButton:

<h:commandButton disabled="true" value="button" onclick="alert('hello')" type="button"/>

Results in:

<input name="frmContent:j_id499838546_62f34114" disabled="disabled" id="frmContent:j_id499838546_62f34114" onclick="alert('hello')" type="button" value="button"></input>

As expected the onclick action is not preformed.

I would expect similar behaviour from both h:commandButton and h:commandLink.
