I don't know--I don't have NS4 to check. It does work with Mozilla 1.3 and
IE 5 though. I think it should work in NS4 because I'm not doing anything
special. Disabled checkboxes are checkbox input fields with "disabled" tags
in them. But because these are not returned on a form submit, each disabled
checkbox that has been selected is accompanied by a hidden text input field
containing the value of the checkbox.

BTW, I had to hack a little to get the things to work--the htWidget method
in the Field base class makes too many assumptions about how static fields
should be generated. Likewise, there needs to be some notional separation
between hidden and static fields. They can be very different, but htWidget
assumes that they are synonymous.
