        Disable a column when the specific column has value
                    I am making a table that has three columns. The user can only choose either the second column or the third column to enter value. How would you design the table?

        Does show/hide functionality belong in disabled fields?
                    I'm working on a masking pattern for our text input fields. Show/hide would look like this:
I'm not sure if we should provide show/hide if the input is disabled.
Right now in the disabled state, we'...

        Can the current page in a breadcrumb be considered disabled, allowing it to not meet contrast requirements?
                    Our UX and design teams were discussing breadcrumbs, and if the current page is considered a "disabled" element. We already style the current page so it is obviously not linked, like the out-...

        Giving user a visual cue that form controls are disabled after clicking submit, while the form is being processed?
                    Never tested or researched this, tbh.
