Remove disabled attribute onClick of disabled form field

Question

I have a form field that starts out disabled and has an onClick to enable it. The onClick doesn\'t fire (at least in FF) nor does a simple alert(1);.

The hacky vers

Answer 1

If you simply want to prevent the user from typing data in your field, but instead want the field to populate on an event, my hack solution was to not disable the input field at all, but instead after running my onclick or onfocus functions, to call blur() so the user can not edit the field.
