You must have come across a situation where you have to make any element
disable or
enable. With jQuery, there are couple of ways using them you can
enable/disable any element. jQuery really makes your task very easy. In below given example, I have disabled a textbox with id "txtName".
Approach 1
$("#txtName").attr("disabled", true);Approach 2
$("#txtName").attr("disabled", "disabled");If you are using jQuery 1.7 or higher version then use
prop(), instead of
attr().
$("#txtName").prop("disabled", "disabled");
If you wish to enable any element then you just have to do opposite of what you did to make it disable. However jQuery provides another way to remove any attribute.
Approach 1
$("#txtName").attr("disabled", false); Approach 2
$("#txtName").attr("disabled", ""); Approach 3
$("#txtName").removeAttr("disabled"); Again, if you are using jQuery 1.7 or higher version then use
prop(), instead of
attr(). That's is. This is how you enable or disable any element using jQuery.
