Event on a disabled input

Question

Apparently a disabled is not handled by any event

Is there a way to work around this issue ?

Answer 1

We had today a problem like this, but we didn't wanted to change the HTML. So we used mouseenter event to achieve that

var doThingsOnClick = function() {
    // your click function here
};

$(document).on({
    'mouseenter': function () {
        $(this).removeAttr('disabled').bind('click', doThingsOnClick);
    },
    'mouseleave': function () {
        $(this).unbind('click', doThingsOnClick).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
    },
}, 'input.disabled');
