6,834 PointsAdding .attr('disabled')
Select the submit button by its class and save it to a variable called $submit. Then use the appropriate jQuery method to disable the button by adding a disabledattribute to it.
var $submit = $('.submit-btn'); $submit.attr('disabled');
var $submit = $('.submit-btn'); $submit.attr('disabled', 'true');
How are either of these incorrect. I cannot see it

6,436 PointsYou typed $submit.attr('disabled', 'true'); the second argument you typed is surrounded in quotes, that makes it a string and not a boolean. Try this $submit.attr('disabled', true);

6,834 PointsInteresting setting the attribute download="true" worked to cause a link to download. So I figured that was how you must add boolean values to HTML. Must have been a coincidence that the download attribute still functioned.
Thank you for the help!
