I'm having problems enabling a form field once its been disabled, i have written the following javascript code:

menuID being the field i want to disable, and test being a checkbox

function disableField(menuID,test) {
	if(document.getElementById(test).checked == true) {
		document.getElementById(menuID).disabled = "true";
	} else {
		document.getElementById(menuID).disabled = "false";
	}
}

any ideas?

Try it like this:

disabled = "disabled"; // for disabled
disabled = ""; // for enabled

Both the checked and disabled properties take boolean values (true or false, though not as string literals, so they shouldn't be in quotes).

e.g.

	obj.disabled = true
//not	obj.disabled = 'true'

This means that the process can be simplified by setting the disabled value to the checked value.

i.e.

function disableField(menuID,test) {

	document.getElementById(menuID).disabled = (document.getElementById(test).checked);

}

When checked is true, disabled is set to true. When checked is false, disabled is set to false.
