Javascript problems with IE8

Question

I'm trying to disable an input with JavaScript or jQuery

//document.getElementById("monto").disabled=true;
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#monto").attr("disabled", "disabled");
});

The code works fine in chrome, Firefox, and some versions of IE, but doesn't work with IE 8, also tried with Hide/show but doesn't work too.

I know the best solution is to upgrade, but my boss thinks our clients are too dumb to do that.

What version of jQuery? Try `$("#monto").prop("disabled", true);` — j08691, Mar 03 '14 at 16:56
`document.getElementById("monto").disabled=true;` looks pretty good. — Ry-, Mar 03 '14 at 16:56
If you are using IE8, you need to use jQuery 1.x. The new 2.x series only works on IE9+. — gen_Eric, Mar 03 '14 at 17:01
@zickno Check out [this](http://jsfiddle.net/warlock5658/D2VGY/) fiddle using jQuery 2.1.0. The input appears disabled. — War10ck, Mar 03 '14 at 17:02
I'm trying now with `document.getElementById("monto").style.display = 'none';` to hide the element, and doesn't work too — zickno, Mar 03 '14 at 17:55

try this article from stackoverflow :)

var disableSelection = function(){
    $("#elementId").prop("disabled", true);    
};

var enableSelection = function(){
    $("#elementId").prop("disabled", false);
};
