[jQuery] if statement testing for null value

[jQuery] if statement testing for null value


Hi. I have a form with a disabled submit button when the page is
loaded. I'm trying to activate that submit button only when two text
fields(ids="equipmentNumber" and "description") and three select boxes
(ids="type","department"," and "location") contain a value. Here is
my current code:
if ($('#equipmentNumber').val() != null && $('#description').val() !=
null && $('#type').val() != null && $('#department') != null && $
('#location').val() != null)
{
    $('#submit').attr("disabled",false);
}
However, this condition is always true...even if each field is blank.
Does anyone see right off where I've messed up?
