    You can also use the .prop() function.

    A simple


    $("#submit-button").prop('disabled', true);
    $("#submit-button").prop('disabled', false);

    will also do then.

Posting Code

We highly encourage you to post problematic HTML/CSS/JavaScript over on CodePen and include the link in your post. It's much easier to see, understand, and help with when you do that.

Markdown is supported, so you can write inline code like `<div>this</div>` or multiline blocks of code in in triple backtick fences like this:

```
<script>
  function example() {
    element.innerHTML = "<div>code</div>";
  }
</script>
```

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with the rest other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.
