attr disabled disabled issue

Question

I have this function toggles the disabled attribute form a input field        someElement   click function           if  someCondition         console log  target prev  input       gives out the right object       target toggleClass  open   prev  input   attr  disabled    disabled       else        target toggleClass  open   prev  input   removeAttr  disabled      this works          the removeAttr works fine but when i need to add the disabled again it does just nothing  My console log is triggered  and giving me back the right input field  so I m sure that my if statement works  But when I inspect the DOM with firebug in firefox  the disabled attribute does not appear   can someone help me   PS  please don t focus on the function or the if statement itself  works fine its just that attr that does not work for disabled      edit  its an input type  hidden  is it possible that disabled does not work on hidden fields

I was facing the similar issue while toggling the disabled state of button  After firing the removeProp  disabled   the button refused to get  disabled  again  I found an interesting solution   use prop  disabled  true  to disable the button and prop  disabled  false  to re-enable it  Now I was able to toggle the  disabled  state of my button as many times I needed  Try it out

Thank you all for your contribution  I found the problem   ITS A FIREBUG BUG      My code works  I have asked the PHP Dev to change the input types hidden in to input type text  The disabled feature works  But the firebug console does not update this status   you can test out this firebug bug by your self here http   jsbin com uneti3 3   Thx to aSeptik for the example page   update  2  June 2012  Firebug in FF11 still has this bug
