Question

I have the following:

        if ($(this).attr("data-disabled") === "false") {
            var $link = $(this);
            $("a.accessLink").each(function () {
                $(this).attr("data-disabled", "true");
            });
            dialog($link);
        }

Am I correct in saying this could be replaced with:

        if ($(this).data("disabled") === "false") {
            var $link = $(this);
            $("a.accessLink").each(function () {
                $(this).data("disabled", "true");
            });
            dialog($link);
        }

Also is there a better way for me to set all the data-disabled attributes of links with the accessLink class to a value of “disabled”?

Answer 1

if ($(this).data("disabled") === "false") {
    $("a.accessLink").data("disabled", "true");
    dialog( $(this) );
}
