There are a couple of things wrong in this code:

1. You're using the wrong way. You should use a if you want to make the text behind it clickable.
2. It's setting the enabled attribute, which does not exist. Use disabled instead.
3. If it would be an attribute, it's value should not be false, use disabled="disabled" or simply disabled without a value.
4. If checking for someone clicking on a form event that will CHANGE it's value (like check-boxes and radio-buttons), use .change() instead.

I'm not sure what your code is supposed to do. My guess is that you want to disable the input field with class roomNumber once someone selects "Walk in" (and possibly re-enable when deselected). If so, try this code:

HTML:

    

        
        In House
    
    

        
        Walk in
    
    

        
    

Javascript:

$("form input:radio").change(function () {
    if ($(this).val() == "walk_in") {
        // Disable your roomnumber element here
        $('.roomNumber').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
    } else {
        // Re-enable here I guess
        $('.roomNumber').removeAttr('disabled');
    }
});
