I made a change - http://jsfiddle.net/dTj4B/36/ and I am getting a "too much recursion" error.

Thanks for the reply @jay, thanks for the correction. I always forget about the $.fn.prop() method. Anyway, i'm getting similar errors. I guess the problem I'm having is that that triggering disable on the text element fires events on every element on the page. My understanding is that it should only fire once on the element I selected...in this case input#my_text. Am I misunderstanding the $.fn.on() method?

I've been thinking about this since I looked at it earlier and was wondering what would happen if you went with a more direct method instead of using trigger. I'll try something in a little bit.

EDIT: I commented out one of the functions (you're calling both when you trigger the disable, which is your original problem) and opened the console. When clicking either button the number of times that the element is console logged is staggering (hence the recursion error). It would seem to me that the whole concept needs to be refactored.
