How to disable the combobox ?

[alani1]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that beautiful component ! My combobox markup after .combobox() looks like this :

<div class="combobox-container combobox-selected">
<input type="hidden" name="entrySignal" value="Long">
<input type="text" autocomplete="off" placeholder="">
<span class="add-on btn dropdown-toggle" data-dropdown="dropdown">
   ...
</span>
</div>

What is the simplest way to disable the complete combobox later e.g. based on a value entered in another formfield ?

I expected somehow with the following selector all elements would be disabled :

$("div.combobox-container *").attr('disabled', "disabled");

any ideas ?

thx,

Alain

Sorry,

The used select actually works. Issue was that .combobox() was executed after the selector due to a delayed AJAX request.

Is there a way to disable the button as well, not just the input? Even if the user can't type, he can still select another element from the combobox.

I don't think there is at the moment. It's not a bad feature, but it's been outside of my use case. I'll gladly accept a well done pull request for it though.
