how to conditionally mark a SHtml.checkbox as disabled

[Damian Helme]

I want to add the 'disabled' attribute to a SHtml.checkbox based on a conditional check. 

The only way I've found so far is:

   "#isShared" #> SHtml.checkbox(isSharedRV.is, processIsShared(_))
                                      .map(x => x.asInstanceOf[scala.xml.Elem] % ("disabled" -> (if (!isOwner) "disabled" else Empty)))

The trick that's being used here is that if you call '% ("disabled -> Empty)' on an Elem then the 'disabled' attribute gets ignore altogether. 

However, the complicating factor is that SHtml.checkbox returns a NodeSeq rather than an Elem, so you can't apply the % operator directly as you could with, say, SHtml.text.

It feels a bit too clunky. Is there a better / easier way that I've missed?

Thanks
