Using uniForm and trying to disable input

Question

I have a form that I have 2 different sets of formfields that are utilized depending on a select box value. The problem I am having is when I try to disable the irrelevant input fields, I the disabled attribute comes up as: disabled="" instead of disabled="disabled" here is the code I am using. It is a fairly complicated form so I will use the relevant fields so I can try to keep it as simple as possible for you all. If you think something is missing... please let me know if you need to see more.

<cfform id="entry-form" ACTION="index-10.cfm?Company" name="send" class="uniForm">
        <div class="ctrlHolder"><label for="" style="display:none"><em>*</em>Builder or Individual</label>                        
                        <cfselect name="select1" id="select1">                
                            <option value="" <cfif Individual is "">selected="selected"</cfif>>Who is this Case for? (choose one)</option>                
                            <option value="0"<cfif Individual is 1>selected="selected"</cfif>>An Individual Home Owner</option>                
                            <option value="1"<cfif Individual is not 1 and Individual is not "">selected="selected"</cfif>>A Builder</option>              
                         </cfselect>

Please change the jQuery 'prop' to 'attr' & check the below script once it works fine.....

<script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function(){    
    $("#select1").change(function(){         
        if ($(this).val() == "1" ){             
            $("#hide2").slideDown("fast"); //Slide Down Effect              
            $("#hide1").slideUp("fast");
            $("#firstname").attr("disabled", "disabled");
            $("#builder").attr("disabled", false);
        }
        else if ($(this).val() == "0" ){             
            $("#hide1").slideDown("fast");    //Slide Down Effect             
            $("#hide2").slideUp("fast");
            $("#firstname").attr("disabled", false);
            $("#builder").attr("disabled", "disabled");    
        }   
    });
});

Answer 2

I found the issue. The disabled property was being added. It was the required class that was keeping this from working. I added removeClass and addClass methods in order to correct this.
