10,910 PointsaddClass() Jquery
This is question : "The submit button is now disabled, but it doesn’t look like it! Luckily, we have a class called disabled in our CSS that will style it for us. Chain the appropriate jQuery method to add the class of disabled to the submit button." This is my answer : "var $submit = $('.submit-btn'); $submit.attr("disabled",true); $submit.addClass("disabled"); " And this is error i seen "Did you make a call to the "addClass" method after calling the "attr" method on the variable named "$submit"?" Can some body help me ?

242,770 PointsWhen "chaining", you call more than one method in the same statement. So, for these two separate statements:
$submit.attr("disabled",true);
$submit.addClass("disabled");
The chained version would look like this:
$submit.attr("disabled",true).addClass("disabled");

13,783 PointsAre you sure this is right. I tried doing this, and it's still not working.
Steven Parker
242,770 PointsIt was right for the particular task he was working on. But since no link was given to the course page, you might be working on something with slightly different requirements. You might want to create a new question like I suggested to dturner.

1,584 Pointsyeh i get that thanks steven, but what I mean is $submit.attr("disabled",true); $submit.addClass("disabled"); Would this also be correct for the whole objective?
Steven Parker
242,770 PointsFor practical use, those two statements would perform the same functions. But for this particular exercise, the instructions said, "Chain the appropriate jQuery method ...".

1,584 PointsThanks Steven Parker.

1,584 PointsWhat's the difference if you just said $submit.addClass("disabled"); instead of chaining the whole thing.
Steven Parker
242,770 PointsThe class only affects the appearance, but the attribute disables the button function.
