Enable/Disable a dropdownbox in jquery

Question

I am new to jQuery and I want to enable and disable a dropdown list using a checkbox. This is my html:

<select id="dropdown" style="width:200px">
    <option value="feedback" name="aft_qst">After Quest</option>
    <option value="feedback" name="aft_exm">After Exam</option>
</select>
<input type="checkbox" id="chkdwn2" value="feedback" />

What jQuery code do I need to do this? Also searching for a good jQuery documentation/study material.

Answer 1

Here is one way that I hope is easy to understand:

http://jsfiddle.net/tft4t/

$(document).ready(function() {
 $("#chkdwn2").click(function() {
   if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
      $("#dropdown").prop("disabled", true);
   } else {
      $("#dropdown").prop("disabled", false);  
   }
 });
});
