if you are removing all disabled attributes from input  then why not just do      input   removeAttr  disabled      Then after ajax success      input type  text     attr  disabled   true     Make sure you use remove the disabled attribute before submit  or it won t submit that data   If you need to submit it before changing  you need to use readonly instead

For me  none of these answers worked  but I finally found one that did   I needed this for IE-     input text   attr  disabled    disabled      I also had to add this for Chrome and Firefox -     input text   AddClass  notactive      and this -   lt style type  text css  gt       notactive           pointer-events  none          cursor  default          lt  style gt

My issue with this was that the element using the disabled attr needed to be defined as a form element   ie input type for it to work  Both worked with attr   and prop   but chose the latter for future maintainability

It s an old post but I none of this solution worked for me so I m posting my solution if anyone find this helpful   I just had the same problem   In my case the control I needed to disable was a user control with child dropdowns which I could disable in IE but not in chrome   my solution was to disable each child object  not just the usercontrol  with that code       controlName   find      each function        this  attr  disabled   true        It s working for me in chrome now

Mostly disabled attribute doesn t work with the anchor tags from HTML-5 onwards  Hence we have change it to  let s say  button  and style it accordingly with appropriate color border-style etc  That s the most apt solution for any similar issue users are facing in Chrome   Only few elements support  disabled  attribute  Span   select  option  textarea  input   button
