Topic: Disabling material select using JavaScript

russ pro asked 5 years ago


Hi, is it possible to disable (or enable) a Material Select using Javascript? I've tried the following with no success.

var sel = document.getElementById('my-select');
sel.setAttribute("disabled", true);

Thanks for any help. :-)

Hello!

Try to make onClick event and do something like this in it:

$(yourElement).removeAttr('active');
$(yourElement).attr('disabled');

Try: document.getElementById("my-select").disabled = true;

Thanks for the suggestion but sadly it didn't work for me. Did you try it yourself with any success?

I had not tried it myself, so I gave it a go. I discovered that you have to destroy and reinitialize the select after you add the disabled attribute. Here's what worked for me:

document.getElementById("airfillselect").disabled = true; $('.mdb-select').materialSelect({ destroy: true }); $('.mdb-select').materialSelect();

I made a snippet for you here. (First time ever, so I hope I'm doing this right)
