I am able to disable a text box using mootools but after disabling it I am not able to enable it back. Please see the code underneath.

Here 'mg' is id of a text box.

window.addEvent('domready', function(){

    $('mg').setAttribute('disabled','true');
    //$('mg').disabled = false  this works fine
    //does not enable text box
    $('mg').setAttribute('disabled','false');
});

Javascript 101:

$('mg').setAttribute('disabled', true);
$('mg').removeAttribute('disabled');

Using mootools you can use Element method set, to actually set attributes, like so http://jsfiddle.net/steweb/p6BDb/

js:

var elem = $('mg');
elem.set('disabled','disabled'); //disable
elem.set('disabled',''); //enable

just change the value directly in the attribute of the object

alert($('mg').disabled);
$('mg').disabled = true;
alert( $('mg').disabled);
$('mg').disabled = false;
alert($('mg').disabled);

http://jsfiddle.net/GgyCH/3/

hope this helps

Use: $('mg').setAttribute('disabled','');

(or just remove the attribute)

"disabled", like "selected" is not a true/false attribute. It should actually be:

$('mg').setAttribute('disabled','disabled'); to set it
