Question

I have a disabled='disabled' attribute on an <a> tag. How do I test to see if this attribute is on my tag using jquery? The following code returns undefined. I can see the disabled attribute on the tag in firebug and all other attributes on the anchor return successfully using the same syntax. I realize disabled is a custom attribute for an <a> tag.

$('#anchorID').attr('disabled');

Answer 1

Try

$('#anchorID').is('[disabled=disabled]')

Will return true if disabled="disabled" is an attribute for the element.
