disabled selector
Description: Selects all elements that are disabled.
version added: 1.0jQuery( ":disabled" )
As with other pseudo-class selectors (those that begin with a ":"), it is recommended to precede it with a tag name or some other selector; otherwise, the universal selector ("*") is implied. In other words, the bare $(':disabled') is equivalent to $('*:disabled'), so $('input:disabled') or similar should be used instead.
Although their resulting selections are usually the same, the :disabled selector is subtly different from the [disabled] attribute selector;:disabled matches elements that are actually disabled while [disabled] only checks for the existence of the disabled attribute.
The :disabled selector should only be used for selecting HTML elements that support the disabled attribute (<button>, <input>, <optgroup>, <option>, <select>, <textarea>, <menuitem>, and <fieldset>).
Example:
Finds all input elements that are disabled.
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>disabled demo</title> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script> </head> <body> <form> <input name="email" disabled="disabled"> <input name="id"> </form> <script> $( "input:disabled" ).val( "this is it" ); </script> </body> </html>
