the disabled attributes value is actally not considered   usually if you have noticed the attribute is set as disabled  disabled  the  disabled  here is not necessary persay   thus the best thing to do is to remove the attribute   element removeAttribute  disabled           also you could do   element disabled false

A disabled element is   self-explaining  disabled and thereby logically not editable  so      set the disabled attribute       changes the editable attribute too   Is an intended and well-defined behaviour   The real problem here seems to be you re trying to set disabled to false via setAttribute   which doesn t do what you re expecting  an element is disabled if the disabled-attribute is set  independent of it s value  so  disabled  true   disabled  disabled  and disabled  false  all do the same  the element gets disabled   you should instead remove the complete attribute   element removeAttribute  disabled      or set that property directly   element disabled   false

Try doing this instead   function enable id        var eleman   document getElementById id       eleman removeAttribute  disabled                To enable an element you have to remove the disabled attribute  Setting it to false still means it is disabled   http   jsfiddle net SRK2c
