I want to disable a single option with JS. I tried using the following code:
var input = $('input[value="' + selectedPriLang + "Sec" + '"]');
input.prop('disabled', false);
input.parent('li').addClass('disabled');
It kind of works, but the problem is I can still enable the option using the Select all button. Also, not sure if relevant, I execute the code in a onChange from a different multiselect.
<select id="sel_secLang" multiple="multiple">
<option value="nlSec" disabled="disabled">Dutch</option>
<option value="enSec">English</option>
<option value="deSec">German</option>
<option value="FrSec">French</option>
</select>
Hope this explanation is clear enough, first question ;D.
Although Joe's answer worked I tried it out myself, For disabling:
var input = $('input[value="' + selectedPriLang + "Sec" + '"]');
input.prop('disabled', true);
var input2 = input.parent('label').parent('a').parent('li');
input4.removeClass('active');
input4.addClass('disabled');
For enabling:
var input = $('input[value="' + selectedPriLang + "Sec" + '"]');
input.prop('disabled', false);
var input2 = input.parent('label').parent('a').parent('li');
input2.removeClass('disabled');
Just the value of the input selectedPriLang = $('#sel_priLang option:selected').val();
Just a quick note to clarify: disabling the corresponding checkbox and adding the .disabled
class to the appropriate li
is not sufficient. You also have to disable the underlying option
. Example (can also be found in the documentation):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example-disable-javascript').multiselect({
includeSelectAllOption: true
});
$('#example-disable-javascript-disable').on('click', function() {
var input = $('#example-disable-javascript-container input[value="3"]');
var option = $('#example-disable-javascript-container option[value="3"]');
input.prop('disabled', true);
option.prop('disabled', true);
input.parent('label').parent('a').parent('li').addClass('disabled');
});
$('#example-disable-javascript-check').on('click', function() {
var options = '';
$('#example-disable-javascript option:selected').each(function() {
options += $(this).val() + ', ';
});
alert(options.substr(0, options.length - 2));
});
});
</script>
<div class="btn-group" id="example-disable-javascript-container">
<select id="example-disable-javascript" multiple="multiple">
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
<option value="4">Option 4</option>
<option value="5">Option 5</option>
<option value="6">Option 6</option>
</select>
<button id="example-disable-javascript-disable" class="btn btn-primary">Disable an option!</button>
<button id="example-disable-javascript-check" class="btn btn-primary">Check</button>
</div>
