How to enable a disabled checkbox dynamically?

Question

Please see here: http://jsfiddle.net/nShQs/

Press the disable button and then the enable button. The checkbox doesn\'t get enabled.

HTML:

Answer 1

Set the disabled property rather than the attribute (fiddle).

function enable() {
    document.getElementById("check").disabled = false;    
}

function disable() {
    document.getElementById("check").disabled = true;
}

A control will remain disabled if the disabled attribute is present at all - regardless of its value (fiddle). Setting the disabled property to false will remove the disabled attribute.
