verifyAttribute regression in 1.0.9 (text case & disabled)

Looks like where is one more regression in SelIDE 1.0.9.

How to reproduce bug:
1. Open verifyAttribute.htm in FF.
2. Run verifyAttribute.test in SelIDE 1.0.9 #25.

The result for me is:
    * [error] Actual value 'background-image: url("/resize/?idnews=1&v=poligonv&adminmode=1&width=180&height=105&ratio=0");'
did not match 'background-image: url("/resize/?idnews=*&v=poligonv*&adminMode=1&width=180&height=105&ratio=0");'
    * [error] Actual value 'true' did not match 'disabled' 

Both commands are broken. There are two problems: text case and boolean attribute.

In SelIDE 1.0.7 the test works fine.

I think this bug because it breaks backward compatibility. Can you check it, please?

Hi,

This is indeed the new behaviour of Selenium which should be consistent across all
of Selenium components. Here is the explaination:-

The style attribute is now forced into lowercase. Since this is behaviour across Selenium,
I will open another issue for clarification. As a workaround, if you convert your value
to lowercase, it will pass.

The following attribute values are now treated as boolean and will now return true
or false.

"async", "autofocus", "autoplay", "checked", "compact", "complete", "controls", "declare",
"defaultchecked", "defaultselected", "defer", "disabled", "draggable", "ended", "formnovalidate",
"hidden", "indeterminate", "iscontenteditable", "ismap", "itemscope", "loop", "multiple",
"muted", "nohref", "noresize", "noshade", "novalidate", "nowrap", "open", "paused",
"pubdate", "readonly", "required", "reversed", "scoped", "seamless", "seeking", "selected",
"spellcheck", "truespeed", "willvalidate"

This includes the disabled attribute. Since this is the way forward, I do not see any
way to still be backward compatible.

Cheers,
Samit

Thank you.
