Toggle disable button in Razor view ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I'm trying to toggle between enabling or disabling an html button from a Razor view based on an if statement. This disables the button regardless of the value of the if statement.

@{
    disabled = "";
    if (Model.User.PublicId == ViewBag.SiteUser.PublicId)
    {
        followClass += " you";
        followText = "You";
        disabled = "disabled";
    }
}

<button class="@followClass" disabled="@(disabled)">@(followText)</button>

Answer 1

If you want to keep the disabled in the button definition you can do the following:

<button @if (@Model.DisableButtonModel) {  @("disabled='1'") }>My Button</button>

Answer 2

Simple fix, just remove disabled="" from the button definition.

<button class="@followClass" @disabled >@followText</button>
