Remove data-toggle attribute when disabled

Question

I have a list of tabs with elements that can be disabled - i.e. non-clickable. And when 'disabled' is added as a class, then the mouse over on the element is indicating that the tab is non-clickable. Unfortunately the element is clickable. I am trying to remove the datatoggle="tab" from the element when the element is disabled, but my jQuery skills aren't sufficient.

I have a ul of class="nav nav-tabs" with id="myTabs" And I'm trying to remove the data-toggle attribute with this jQuery statement:

$('#myTabs a').is('.disabled').removeAttr('data-toggle');

Bootply example

Answer 1

You can try this:-

$('#tabs li.disabled').find('a').removeAttr('data-toggle');

or

$('#tabs li.disabled a').removeAttr('data-toggle');

Demo

Answer 2

$('#myTabs a').is('.disabled') returns a boolean: false - you cannot call removeAttr on this!

Second your disabled class is on your li, not your .

Try this:

$('#myTabs li.disabled a').removeAttr('data-toggle');
