Question

The following piece of code is not disabling the html button. I am using MVC3 razor . Can anyone point out where I am going wrong

@{
   bool disablebutton = bool.Parse(ViewData["Disablebutton"].ToString());        
 }    

 $(document).ready(function () {  
   if (@disablebutton) {
     $('#abc').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
   }       
 });

Answer 1

Based on your comment in your question, there’s your problem: “True” is not valid Javascript. It has to be true all lowercase. Look at your JS error console and I’m sure you’ll have an error.

You can do if (@disablebutton.ToLower())

The above is just one way of resolving your issue. You need to be careful when mixing server-side with client-side.
