[jQuery] How to disable a form fields in jQuery

Hello people,
I was searching for a way to disable form in jQuery. I searched the API and dont found anything about the disabled attribute. How can I disable form fields in jQuery?
I tried:
$("textarea.news01
").id().disabled = true;
-> return the ID              -> html attribute
So, how can I manage this in jQuery?
Thanks a lot,
Eriksen Costa
