Disabling a button on a webpage using jQuery is remarkable simple – just set the selected button’s disabled attribute to true, in other words, make use of a .attr(‘disabled’,true) function call.
This can then obviously be extended to disabling all buttons on a webpage using the following snippet of code:
$('input[type=button]').attr('disabled', true);
Like I said, remarkably simple. (Obviously to enable you simply set the attribute to false again!)
