disable all form elements inside div

Question

is there a way to disable all fields (textarea/textfield/option/input/checkbox/submit etc) in a form by telling only the parent div name in jquery/javascript?

Answer 1

I'm using the function below at various points. Works in a div or button elements in a table as long as the right selector is used. Just ":button" would not re-enable for me.

function ToggleMenuButtons(bActivate) {
    if (bActivate == true) {
        $("#SelectorId :input[type='button']").prop("disabled", true);
    } else {
        $("#SelectorId :input[type='button']").removeProp("disabled");
    }
}
