I actually *JUST* created enable & disable functions:
(function($) {
/**
* Disables the matched form elements, and adds the <var>disabled</
var> class
* to them.
* @return jQuery The matched elements.
*/
$.fn.disable = function() {
$(this).each(function() {
$(this).attr("disabled", true).addClass("disabled");
}); // $(this).each()
return $(this);
}; // $.fn.disable()
/**
* Removes the <var>disabled</var> class from the matched form
elements, and
* re-enables them.
* @return jQuery The matched elements.
*/
$.fn.enable = function() {
$(this).each(function() {
$(this).removeClass("disabled").attr("disabled", false);
}); // $(this).each()
return $(this);
}; // $.fn.enable()
})(jQuery);
Enjoy!
