disable textbox by jquery

Question

I'm trying to disable textbox using jquery:

$('#<%=txtFrom.ClientID %>').attr('disabled', true);

It looks as disabled: , but actually it's not, I can write there. Why?

UPDATE: Fixed by adding input in the code:

$('#<%=txtFrom.ClientID %> input').attr('disabled', true);

Answer 1

You need to do that:

$('#YOUR_ELEMENT_ID').attr("disabled", "disabled");
