From http://getbootstrap.com/css/#checkboxes-and-radios:

To have the for the checkbox or radio also display a "not-allowed" cursor when the user hovers over the label, add the .disabled class to your .radio, .radio-inline, .checkbox, .checkbox-inline, or <fieldset>

(bold highlighting by me)

Either the doc is wrong or the theme is missing something but adding the disabled class to an encompassing fieldset makes no difference.

Testcase with comparison to the other methods leading to the wanted result: http://jsbin.com/kacawu/3/edit?html,output (Bootlint and HTML validator passed).

In the fieldset case, it should be the disabled attribute, as opposed to the disabled class; see https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/5a8d0143b3fa9de883a5672d4a1f44d472657a8a/less/forms.less#L262

@cvrebert Yes, but there are caveats as mentioned at http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-disabled-fieldsets

To further clarify, the disabled class has never been meant to be used on <fieldset>s.

OK, I just thought it might be useful for cross-browser compatibility.

In any case if you plan on mentioning the disabled attribute on fieldsets in the checkbox section of the docs maybe link then to the fieldset-disabled section as well so that people who might not read the whole manual are aware of possible issues when using that approach.

So unless I'm missing something, this is a simple case of the docs needing a tweak, right? Rather than the CSS? /cc @cvrebert

@patrickhlauke Correct.
