Ever wonder how to disable another input element through the use of another control? Here is a simple tutorial on how to toggle the disabled attribute of an input element.

For the first demo, we will toggle an input’s disabled status through the use of another control. For this example, we will give our target input an id of target, while our control, in this case a link, we will give it an id of control:

Target text field: <input type="text" id="target" /><br />
<a href="#" id="control" />Disable target</a>

Now to toggle the target‘s disabled status, it is actually quite simple in jQuery. Using the .attr() attribute we can disable the target. Then using the .removeAttr(), we can remove the disabled status. Here is how the javascript code would look like:

$("#control").toggle(
function ()
{
	$('#target').attr("disabled", true);
},
function ()
{
	$('#target').removeAttr("disabled");
});

For those who are fans of strategy RPGs (with extremely long hours of GRINDAN), namely the Disgaea series, you’re in for a treat. A trailer has been made available at the Japanes PSN store revealing the new mechanics and features of the new game. Aside from the insane damage numbers from the trailer which is one of the series’ trademarks, new tower attacks have been also revealed as well as character specials.

What is weird though is that for a PS3 title, the game still uses the low-res sprite-based styled characters from the PS2 versions. Although usually for the Disgaea series, its usually the gameplay, wacky characters, and the story that drives the series.

Here is the Makai Senki Disgaea trailer below:

Could this be possibly true? A recent trailer has recently come out about a possible port of the game Super Mario Galaxy into the Nintendo DS. Play the video below to see what the hype is all about:
