You can put this somewhere global in your code     prototype enable   function            each this  function  index  el              el  removeAttr  disabled                 prototype disable   function            each this  function  index  el              el  attr  disabled    disabled                And then you can write stuff like       myInputs   enable        otherInput   disable

jQuery 1 6   To change the disabled property you should use the  prop   function      input   prop  disabled   true      input   prop  disabled   false     jQuery 1 5 and below  The  prop   function doesn t exist  but  attr   does similar   Set the disabled attribute      input   attr  disabled   disabled      To enable again  the proper method is to use  removeAttr       input   removeAttr  disabled      In any version of jQuery  You can always rely on the actual DOM object and is probably a little faster than the other two options if you are only dealing with one element      assuming an event handler thus  this  this disabled   true    The advantage to using the  prop   or  attr   methods is that you can set the property for a bunch of selected items     Note  In 1 6 there is a  removeProp   method that sounds a lot like removeAttr    but it SHOULD NOT BE USED on native properties like  disabled   Excerpt from the documentation      Note  Do not use this method to remove native properties such as checked  disabled  or selected  This will remove the property completely and  once removed  cannot be added again to element  Use  prop   to set these properties to false instead    In fact  I doubt there are many legitimate uses for this method  boolean props are done in such a way that you should set them to false instead of  removing  them like their  attribute  counterparts in 1 5
