To sum it up: "disabled" is one of the most screwed up attributes. Try
to avoid it, if possible.
I can't agree with this at all; it is often useful to disable and
re-enable form elements. You can use the regular DOM function
removeAttribute():
window.onload=function(){$("in1").removeAttribute("disabled");};

<input type="text" disabled="true" id="in1"/>

Thanks! I mailed yesterday asking what to use instead, but message has
not shown up here yet. Anyhow, that said, it is a rather confusing type
of attribute (all boolean x/html attributes will behave in this way?),
especially when I remember that I had already come across this issue
some time ago, and still am surprised by it... good indication that it
is screwed up.
