I'm using jQuery to enable/disable a text-area, upon clicking two radio buttons. Here is my code:
HTML
<form>
<input type="radio" id="aa" name="candidates">1 <br>
<input type="radio" id="bb" name="candidates">2<br>
</form>
<textarea rows="2" id="candidateTextArea" style="width: 100%;">adadsajsd</textarea>
jQuery
$("#aa").change(function() {
console.log("change in aa");
$("#candidateTextArea").attr("disabled", "true");
}
);
$("#bb").change(function() {
console.log("change in bb");
$("#candidateTextArea").attr("disabled", "false");
}
);

In practice what I see is that the text-area becomes disabled, and never gets active again. Any ideas why this doesn't work?
