Button not being enabled

So I have a few buttons which look like this, the other three are exactly the same but with different text and ID.

<p id="a"> Counters on A: 0 </p> <button onclick="add('a')" disabled>Add</button>

I initially have the buttons disabled, but would like to enable them after button X1 is clicked. At the end of the function that is called when X1 is clicked I add the following lines

document.getElementById("a").disabled = false;

For some reason the buttons are still disabled. And I did a few tests and the program reaches before and after the enabling of the method but that one line is not being enabled. Why is this?

You assigned an id "a" to the < p > element, not the button.

<p> Counters on A: 0 </p> <button onclick="add('a')" disabled id="a">Add</button>

document.getElementById("a").disabled = false;
