Disabling Element through JavaScript

Hi community!

I have a question about disabling an element trough javascirpt. The problem is when I clicked the "Edit" button the disabled attribute won't add to the element unless I clicked it on second time.

Please see here my codes. http://w.trhou.se/1ztht7z57n

Thanks for your help!

You can try setting the disabled attribute to "true" instead, which seems to work. I believe this has to do with the difference between a property and an attribute, but I'm unprepared to explain the difference!
