Date: 2010jun30 Update: 2018jun21 Language: javaScript Platform: web Library: jQuery Q. jQuery: Disable/enable a button A. Disable like this:

$('#mybutton').prop('disabled', true);

Enable like this:

$('#mybutton').prop('disabled', false);

You could make a wrapper function as so:

function enableButton(query, isEnabled) { $(query).prop('disabled', !isEnabled); }

Example use:

enableButton('#mybutton', false); // Disables it enableButton('#mybutton', true); // Enables it
