This question specifically mentions jQuery  but if you are looking to accomplish this without jQuery  the equivalent in vanilla JavaScript is   elem removeAttribute  disabled

Always use the prop   method to enable or disable elements when using jQuery  see below for why    In your case  it would be       edit   click function event      event preventDefault           inputDisabled   prop  disabled   false      Element s  are now enabled        jsFiddle example here        Why use prop   when you could use attr   removeAttr   to do this    Basically  prop   should be used when getting or setting properties  such as autoplay  checked  disabled and required amongst others     By using removeAttr    you are completely removing the disabled attribute itself - while prop   is merely setting the property s underlying boolean value to false    While what you want to do can be done using attr   removeAttr    it doesn t mean it should be done  and can cause strange problematic behaviour  as in this case    The following extracts  taken from the jQuery documentation for prop    explain these points in greater detail       The difference between attributes and properties can be important in   specific situations  Before jQuery 1 6  the  attr   method sometimes   took property values into account when retrieving some attributes    which could cause inconsistent behavior  As of jQuery 1 6  the  prop     method provides a way to explicitly retrieve property values  while    attr   retrieves attributes         Properties generally affect the dynamic state of a DOM element without   changing the serialized HTML attribute  Examples include the value   property of input elements  the disabled property of inputs and   buttons  or the checked property of a checkbox  The  prop   method   should be used to set disabled and checked instead of the  attr     method  The  val   method should be used for getting and setting   value
