Answer 1

This is discussed here too: http://forum.jquery.com/topic/disable-image-button

Answer 2

You don't have to use JQ for that , just use pure JS like that :

document.getElementById('x').disabled = true;

or if you wanna UNdisable it :

document.getElementById('x').disabled = false;

Answer 3

if you are using jQuery < 1.6 do this:

$('#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadUploadImage').attr("disabled", 'disabled');

If you are using jQuery 1.6+:

$('#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_RadUploadImage').prop("disabled", true);

See this question: .prop() vs .attr() for references why.
