I have a problem determining status of an input field. I want JS to determine whether it is disabled or enabled but my code below always return ‘false’. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

   <input name="ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderDefault$RobinBodyPlaceHolder   $LoggedInBodyPlaceHolder$AddEditUser1$EmailTextBox" type="text" value="email@mail.com"    id="ContentPlaceHolderDefault_RobinBodyPlaceHolder_LoggedInBodyPlaceHolder_AddEditUser1_EmailTextBox"    class="EmailTextBox" disabled="disabled"/>


function ConfirmEmailChange() {
    alert($('.EmailTextBox').disabled==true);
}

    You’re trying to access the disabled property of a jQuery object (I’m assuming it’s jQuery, but it could be some other JS library using the $ character), but jQuery objects don’t have a disabled property.

    If it is jQuery, you can access the actual DOM node contained within the jQuery object using array notation:

    alert($('.EmailTextBox')[0].disabled);

    Alternatively, you can use the get method:

    alert($('.EmailTextBox').get(0).disabled);

    Or, as others have shown, you can use the jQuery prop method. Notice that I’ve removed the == true part, as disabled is a boolean property and will return true or false anyway.
