submit_tag :disable_with -> Problem with AJAX-Buttons in FireFox

#3963

I have a normal form with 2 submit tags.
The submit tags names, so the controller can detect, which one was clicked.
Both submit tags have a :disable_with text.
Now I open a div via ajax and render a new remote_form_for with a third button (including a :disable_with).

If I click on the ajax button and than on a "normal" button, the button name for the normal butten won't be submitted in Firefox 3.6 (in IE7, it still works).

A small test project is included.

I think, the problem is in form_tag_helper.rb, line 355:

   options["onclick"]  = "if (window.hiddenCommit) { window.hiddenCommit.setAttribute('value', this.value); }"

The hiddenCommit is stored only once for the hole window. If the ajax button sets it, it will never be overwritten by the "normal" button.
Our first fix was to replace window.hiddenCommit by this.form.hiddenCommit, so every form has its one hiddenCommit.

We use the jrails plugin with jquery 1.4. Can someone verify this with prototype, please?

Because we didn't want to change the rails source code for our project, we used this jQuery function as replacement for the :disable_with technique.
You can't set the disabling text, but the rest is working fine...

  $('input[type=submit]').live('click', function() {

    $(this).siblings('#hiddenCommit').remove();
    $(this).parent('form').append('<input type="hidden" name="'+ this.name+ '" value="'+ this.value +'" id="hiddenCommit" />');
    $(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');

    var onsubmit = this.form.onsubmit ? this.form.onsubmit() : true;
    if (! onsubmit) {
      $(this).siblings('#hiddenCommit').remove();
      $(this).attr('disabled', '');
    } else {
      this.form.submit();
    }

  });
