Has anyone ever seen a case where you can't use JavaScript to change the disabled property of a form field? I've used this exact same code elsewhere but for some reason it isn't working for me. I get no error, but the property never gets updated. Here is the JavaScript I'm using:
if(offset == 0) { alert('set it to disble');$("prevbutton").disabled=true;}
else { $("prevbutton").disabled=false;
}
To be sure I wasn't doing anything stupid, I did alert $("prevbutton") to confirm it was an input field. I also alerted the disabled status and it correctly said true for this button:
<input type="button" id="prevbutton" value="Prev" onclick="UpdatePage(pageOffset - pageSize);" />
As I said - I get no error at all - but it is almost like the button's disabled field is readonly when it should be read/write.
