Possible Bug - ASP disables checkbox AND span it is in.

Hi, since I can't find a place to report bugs in IE8, I am posting this here.

When an ASP.Net disables a checkbox on a webpage, if this page is being run
in IE8, the span that is created to contain the checkbox is also disabled. If
you have client-side scripts (such as javascript) on the page that enable or
disable the checkbox, you will also have to re-enable the parent span.

i.e.
javascript code for IE7, Firefox, etc:
"var chkbox = document.getElementById(<%checkbox1.ClientID%>);
chkbox.disabled = false;"

will have to be modified:
"var chkbox = document.getElementById(<%checkbox1.ClientID%>);
chkbox.disabled = false;
chkbox.parentNode.disabled = false;"

in order for the checkbox to be properly re-enabled.

Remember, this error only occurs if the checkbox is disabled in the ASP.Net
code behind.
