How to disable input element whose type is being sent?

Question

I know the following works:

<input type="text" disabled="disabled" /> <button disabled="disabled"> 

But how would you turn it off?

 <input type="submit" ....> 

Any idea? Should I use javascript?

Thanks.

Good. Perhaps this was my problem with Firefox. I swear I used the same syntax. Thanks and sorry for such a stupid question?

Answer 1

You can use disabled="disabled" on input , which are of type submit :

 <input type="submit" disabled="disabled" /> 

Answer 2

Just use:

 <input type="submit" disabled> 

Here is a demo: http://jsbin.com/agojoy/edit#html,live

Note that disabled is a boolean attribute. There are variations in the syntax, but they all have the same effect:

 <input type="submit" disabled=disabled> <input type="submit" disabled="disabled"> <input type="submit" disabled="disabled"/> <input type="submit" disabled="disabled" /> 

Answer 3

To disable a button dynamically, you need to use javascript.

Attach to the click event and disable management.

If you just want to do this in HTML, the disabled attribute works just as well:

 <input type="submit" disabled="disabled" />
