Make sure that attribute "disabled" equals to "disabled"

Question

I have a span with attribute "disabled"

<span disabled="disabled" id="Apply">

If I try to use next expectation:

expect(page.spnApply_element).to have_attributes(:disabled => "disabled")

I get an error:

expected #<Watir::Span:0x..fe4257660 located=false selector={:id=>"Apply", :tag_name=>"span"}> to respond to :disabled with 0 arguments
