Answer 1

In older versions you could use attr. As of jQuery 1.6 you should use prop instead:

$("#target :input").prop("disabled", true);

To disable all form elements inside 'target'. See :input:

Matches all input, textarea, select and button elements.

If you only want the elements:

$("#target input").prop("disabled", true);
