You should be able to set these via the attr()
or prop()
functions in jQuery as shown below:
jQuery (< 1.7):
// This will disable just the div $("#dcacl").attr('disabled','disabled');
or
// This will disable everything contained in the div $("#dcacl").children().attr("disabled","disabled");
jQuery (>= 1.7):
// This will disable just the div $("#dcacl").prop('disabled',true);
or
// This will disable everything contained in the div $("#dcacl").children().prop('disabled',true);
or
// disable ALL descendants of the DIV $("#dcacl *").prop('disabled',true);
Javascript:
// This will disable just the div document.getElementById("dcalc").disabled = true;
or
// This will disable all the children of the div var nodes = document.getElementById("dcalc").getElementsByTagName('*'); for(var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++){ nodes[i].disabled = true; }
