None of the above worked for me  Here s my vanilla js solution     function         function handleSubmit event            var form   event target          var nodes   form querySelectorAll  input disabled             for  var node of nodes                node disabled   false                       function init             var submit form tag   document getElementById  new whatever            submit form tag addEventListener  submit   handleSubmit  true              window onload   init beworst           Be sure to provide an appropriate replacement for the form id   My application has a bit of context  where some boxes are pre-checked  and others you have a limit of how many of the other boxes you can check  When you hit that limit  all the non-pre-checked boxes are disabled  and if you uncheck one all the non-pre-checked boxes are enabled again  When the user presses submit all the checked boxes are submitted to the user  regardless of whether they re pre-checked or not
