title: Disable an Element Using jQuery
challengeType: 6
---

## Description
<section id='description'>
You can also change the non-CSS properties of HTML elements with jQuery. For example, you can disable buttons.
When you disable a button, it will become grayed-out and can no longer be clicked.
jQuery has a function called <code>.prop()</code> that allows you to adjust the properties of elements.
Here's how you would disable all buttons:
<code>$("button").prop("disabled", true);</code>
Disable only the <code>target1</code> button.
