how to disable DIV element and everything inside

Question

I need to disable a DIV and all it s content using Javascript   I can swear that doing a simple    lt div disabled  true  gt     was working for me before  but for some reason it no longer works   I don t understand why   In IE10  the text  Click Me  is not greyed out and click handler still works   I actually need this working for IE10   Below is my code    lt html gt       lt script gt           function disableTest                 document getElementById  test   disabled   true              var nodes   document getElementById  test   getElementsByTagName                   for var i   0  i  lt  nodes length  i                     nodes i  disabled   true                                    lt  script gt    lt body onload  disableTest     gt      lt div id  test  gt          lt div onclick  alert  hello     gt             Click Me         lt  div gt      lt  div gt    lt  body gt   lt  html gt

Try this         test     attr  disabled    disabled   off  click      I don t see you using jquery above  but you have it listed as a tag

I think inline scripts are hard to stop instead you can try with this    lt div id  test  gt       lt div gt Click Me lt  div gt   lt  div gt    and script     function              test   children   click function          alert  hello                    test   children   off  click          CHEKOUT FIDDLE AND SEE IT HELPS  Read More about  off

You can t use  disable  to disable a click event  I don t know how or if it worked in IE6-9  but it didn t work on Chrome  and it shouldn t work on IE10 like that   You can disable the onclick event  too  by attaching an event that cancels     function          function cancel      return false         document getElementById  test   disabled   true      var nodes   document getElementById  test   getElementsByTagName           console log nodes       for  var i   0  i  lt  nodes length  i              nodes i  setAttribute  disabled   true           nodes i  onclick   cancel                Furthermore  setting  disabled  on a node directly doesn t necessarily add the attribute- using setAttribute does   http   jsfiddle net 2fPZu
