A:
.attr('readonly', 'readonly') should do the trick. Your .attr('readonly') only returns the value, it doesn't set one.

jQuery's attr() works on JavaScript properties, not HTML attributes, even though the names imply otherwise. attr('readonly') is actually operating on the DOM Level 1 HTML property readOnly, which is a boolean, so ‘true’ is more appropriate. However, the string 'readonly' is also a truthy value when automatically converted to a boolean, so the above still works.

A:
For enabling readonly:
$("#descrip").attr("readonly","true");
For disabling readonly
$("#descrip").attr("readonly","");
