How is jquery used to check for the 'disabled' attribute on an <a> tag?

html, jquery

Solution

Try

$('#anchorID').is('[disabled=disabled]')

Will return true if `disabled="disabled"` is an attribute for the element.

Problem

I have a `disabled='disabled'` attribute on an `<a>` tag. How do I test to see if this attribute is on my tag using jquery? The following code returns `undefined`. I can see the `disabled` attribute on the tag in firebug and all other attributes on the anchor return successfully using the same syntax. I realize `disabled` is a custom attribute for an `<a>` tag. ``` $('#anchorID').attr('disabled'); ```
