[jQuery] Re: disable select in FF?

[Karl Swedberg]

Hi,
You don't need to set an "enabled" attribute. And instead of setting  
el.attr('disabled','disabled'), try el.attr('disabled', true)

Also, I'm a little surprised that your "el" selector is working:

var el=$(this).parent().next('td select')

This way is more reliable:

var el=$(this).parent().next('td').find('select');

Hope that helps.

I am trying to disable / enable a select drop down list.  Works fine
in IE but not in FF.  I have a check box that when checked the select
becomes enabled when unchecked then it become disabeled.  Here is my
code:

$('input[type=checkbox]').bind("click",function(){
           var el=$(this).parent().next('td select')
           if (this.checked) {
               el.removeAttr("disabled");
                el.attr("enabled","enabled");
           } else {
             el.removeAttr("enabled");
               el.attr("disabled","disabled");
           }
       }).each(function(){ var el=$(this).parent().next('td select');
       if (this.checked) {
               el.removeAttr("disabled");
                el.attr("enabled","enabled");
           } else {
             el.removeAttr("enabled");
               el.attr("disabled","disabled");
           }
        });

thanks for any help!!!
