Ah, that makes more sense then, I know the 'correct' way is
disabled="disabled" which is why I was confused as to why this was
even working...
If I'm understanding things correctly, the "correct" value for the
HTML attribute is "disabled," but for the DOM property, which is what
you're really setting with JavaScript, the "correct" value is a Boolean.
If you look in the jQuery core, you'll see that it checks for a true/
false value for the :disabled and :enabled selectors:
filters: {
enabled: function(elem){
return elem.disabled === false && elem.type !==
"hidden";
},
disabled: function(elem){
return elem.disabled === true;
},
// and so on
}

In any case, both .attr('disabled', true) and .attr('disabled,
'disabled') should work.
