stay true to native  Boolean  property support and its powerful syntax like    elem  disabled   condition   true   false    done   and for our own good collective coding experience  -please insist on others to support it  as well

Some time some javascript functions does not work on some specific browser  I would suggest you to start using JQuery  which gives you normalized JS  taking care of different browser requirement      btn1   each function        this disabled   false

There are always weird issues with browser support of getElementById  try using the following instead      document getElementsBySelector are part of the prototype js library available at http   api prototypejs org dom Element prototype getElementsBySelector   function disbtn e         if   someCondition    true             document getElementsBySelector   btn1   0  setAttribute  disabled    disabled          else           document getElementsBySelector   btn1   0  removeAttribute  disabled                  Alternatively  embrace jQuery where you could simply do this   function disbtn e         if   someCondition    true                 btn1   attr  disabled    disabled          else               btn1   removeAttr  disabled

Try setting the disabled attribute directly   if   someCondition    true        document getElementById  btn1   setAttribute  disabled    disabled      else      document getElementById  btn1   removeAttribute  disabled
