Trying to disable select menus if search box used

Trying to disable select menus if search box used

Heres the mark up of the search box and a portion of a select menu:


  1.           <input name="searchKeyword" id="searchKeyword" type="search" placeholder="     Keyword(s)" data-theme="a" /> 
  2. .....
  3.             <select name="searchDay" id="searchDay" data-theme="a" data-mini="true">
  4.               <option value="0">Day</option>
  5.               <option value="1">Sunday</option>
And my script which is not doing a thing is:

  1. $("#searchKeyword").blur(function() {
  2.     $('select').attr('disable');
  3. });
I've tried ('disabled', 'disable') tried naming the id of each select and I get nowhere.... what am I missing?
