Question

I am trying to change the attribute of a span. jquery does not change the value but javascript does. What can be the problem? Is there any disadvantage of using javascript?

My code is as follows:

$('#ctl00_c_ActivityContainer_ctl00_ctl01_tmmQuestionZone_0').attr('draggable', 'false');               
document.getElementById("ctl00_c_ActivityContainer_ctl00_ctl01_tmmQuestionZone_0").setAttribute("draggable", "false");

<span id="ctl00_c_ActivityContainer_ctl00_ctl01_tmmQuestionZone_0" draggable="true">
</span>

Answer 1

use prop method ( assumes jQuery >=1.6)

$('#ctl00_c_ActivityContainer_ctl00_ctl01_tmmQuestionZone_0').prop('draggable', false);

Also you were using a string for “false’
