Disable/enable an input with jQuery?

Question

$input.disabled = true;

or

$input.disabled = \"disabled\";

Which is the standard way? And, conversely, how do yo

Answer 1

You can put this somewhere global in your code:

$.prototype.enable = function () {
    $.each(this, function (index, el) {
        $(el).removeAttr('disabled');
    });
}

$.prototype.disable = function () {
    $.each(this, function (index, el) {
        $(el).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
    });
}

And then you can write stuff like:

$(".myInputs").enable();
$("#otherInput").disable();
