Check: the state of the $ (this) element in jQuery is enabled

Question

Maybe I missed something and at the same time failed on google, but how would I say something like this:

... if ($(this:enabled)){ //some code } ... 

I know that you usually say something like $("#someID:enabled") , but how to use with $(this) ?

Answer 1

You can use the is(selector) method:

 if ($(this).is(':enabled')) { // some code } 

Answer 2

try the following:

 if($(this).is(':enabled')) 

Answer 3

jQuery has a filtering method that you can use to do this.

if( $(this).is(':enabled') ) { // do something here }
