Enable/Disable can be done by using Jquery prop or attr. Before that we have to consider the version of Jquery.




If Jquery version is 1.6 or above, we can use Jquery prop.

$(function () {
           $("input").prop('disabled', false);
           $("input").prop('disabled', true);
})



$("input").prop('disabled', false); will disable the input here.

$("input").prop('disabled', true); will enable the input back.

Instead of $("input"), you can use ID or Class of the form element.




If Jquery version is 1.5 and below, we can use Jquery attr.

$(function () {
          $("input").attr('disabled', 'disabled');
          $("input").removeAttr('disabled');
})



$("input").attr('disabled', 'disabled'); will disable the input here.

$("input").removeAttr('disabled'); will enable the input back.

By using Jquery prop or attr we can disable any form element.
