Here is a little extension I wrote for jquery to do disabling:
jQuery.fn.extend({ filterDisabled : function(){ return this.filter(function(){return (typeof(this.disabled)!=undefined)})}, disabled: function(h) { if (h!=undefined) return this.filterDisabled().each(function(){this.disabled=h}); this.filterDisabled().each(function() {h=((h||this.disabled)&&this.disabled)}); return h; }, toggleDisabled: function() { return this.filterDisabled().each(function(){this.disabled=!this.disabled});} }); So, with the piece of code above, you can do the following: $("#button").disabled(true); or use it with multiple objects: $(".button").disabled(true); or just toggle states $(".button").toggleDisabled(); or get the state of a control if ($("#button").disabled()) { /*we are disabled*/} (if multiple objects, then it returns the ANDed value - all must be disabled for true) This will also chain like other calls: $(".button").disabled(true).val("disabled!"); sheetzam wrote: > > > Using jquery 1.2.1 toggle: > > jQuery().ready(function(){ > $('#multiple').toggle( > function(){ > $('.afield').attr('disabled',true); > }, > function(){ > $('.afield').removeAttr('disabled'); > } > ); > }); > > I'm trying to toggle the disabled attribute of some text input boxes > based on a checkbox input: > > <form> > <input id="multiple" type="checkbox">The Toggle</input> > <input type="text" class="afield"> > </form> > > However, when the checkbox is clicked, the check does not appear. > Fails in IE and Firefox. > > I've tried adding code to check the box, but that fails as well. > jQuery().ready(function(){ > $('#multiple').toggle( > function(){ > $('#multiple').attr('checked',true); > $('.afield').attr('disabled',true); > }, > function(){ > $('#same').removeAttr('checked'); > $('.afield').removeAttr('disabled'); > } > ); > }); > > What's the best way to accomplish disabling text inputs with a > checkbox?
