Manipulating Attributes Directly
You can also use jQuery to manipulate the attributes of elements directly. For example,
disabling a form field entirely requires you to modify the disabled attribute of that field.
I’ve added a Submit button to the form from the previous example and set it to disabled.
Here’s the new form:
Figure 18.10 shows the form with the sample content and the disabled Submit button.
