Select list value of the disabled attrribute never set

Select list value of the disabled attrribute never set

Hello
I am newbie and this is my first post.

I am trying to set disabled attribute of a select list. Attribute is set but the value never set. This is my code.

  1. jQuery("select[id$=MultiPickList1]", this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
This is the html
  1. <seclect disabled="" />
I do not know why the value is not set. And this is only for disabled attribute. If I change the attribute name then it set without problem.

  1. eg - jQuery("select[id$=MultiPickList1]", this).attr('attribute1', 'disabled');
  2. html - <seclect attribute1="disabled" />
Can someone please tell me why?
Thnax
