javascript remove "disabled" attribute from html input
How can I remove the "disabled" attribute from an HTML input using javascript?
<input id="edit" disabled>
at onClick I want my input tag to not consist of "disabled" attribute.
Set the element's disabled
property to false:
document.getElementById('my-input-id').disabled = false;
If you're using jQuery, the equivalent would be:
$('#my-input-id').prop('disabled', false);
For several input fields, you may access them by class instead:
var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('my-input-class');
for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].disabled = false;
}
Where document
could be replaced with a form, for instance, to find only the elements inside that form. You could also use getElementsByTagName('input')
to get all input elements. In your for
iteration, you'd then have to check that inputs[i].type == 'text'
.
Why not just remove that attribute?
- vanilla JS:
elem.removeAttribute('disabled')
- jQuery:
elem.removeAttr('disabled')
Best answer is just removeAttribute
element.removeAttribute("disabled");
