How do I disable a jquery-ui draggable?

Question

How do I disable a jQuery draggable, e.g. during an UpdatePanel postback?

Answer 1

To enable/disable draggable in jQuery I used:

$("#draggable").draggable({ disabled: true });          

$("#draggable").draggable({ disabled: false });

@Calciphus answer didn't work for me with the opacity problem, so I used:

div.ui-state-disabled.ui-draggable-disabled {opacity: 1;}

Worked on mobile devices either.

Here is the code: http://jsfiddle.net/nn5aL/1/
