jQuery Mobile how to check if button is disabled?


try :is selector

$("#deliveryNext").is(":disabled")


Use .prop instead:

$('#deliveryNext').prop('disabled')


Faced with the same issue when trying to check if a button is disabled. I've tried a variety of approaches, such as btn.disabled, .is(':disabled'), .attr('disabled'), .prop('disabled'). But no one works for me.

Some, for example .disabled or .is(':disabled') returned undefined and other like .attr('disabled') returned the wrong result - false when the button was actually disabled.

But only one technique works for me: .is('[disabled]') (with square brackets).

So to determine if a button is disabled try this:

$("#myButton").is('[disabled]');
