removeAttr('disabled') doesn't change input's color on IE6,JQ 1.6.2

[firstrose@…]

Using following code on IE6:

    <input id="FSC_btnSave" type="button" value="Save" onclick="alert('clickable');"
        disabled="disabled" />
    <input id="FSC_btnClose" type="button" onclick="Test();" value="Close" />

        function Test()
        {
            $('#FSC_btnSave').removeAttr('disabled');
            //$('#FSC_btnSave').attr('disabled',false);
        }

JQ1.6.2 only makes the button clickable, looking still gray.

But 1.6.1 works fine.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Please provide a reduced test case on ​http://jsfiddle.net that reproduces the issue experienced to help us assess your ticket.

Additionally, test against the jQuery (edge) version to ensure the issue still exists.

We experience the same problem on IE7. I saved a reduced test case on jsfiddle:

The button is clickable, but visually it remains disabled. On jQuery 1.6.1 it works as expected.

[Timmy Willison]

Confirmed, not sure the difference. I'll take a look.

I have no idea how, but this commit changed the behavior ​cf702496ee28830f3488ed3f1c3940cfbb2dfa8f

Either way, the hook is set so I don't see how this could change anything except some kind of accessing magic that cause IE to repaint.

For me: ​http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/q4s7a/

This will fix your issue:

$("#Save").prop("disabled", false);

Does this mean that the issue with removeAttr("disabled") will not be fixed for 1.6.3? In fact, you can see the problem when using IE to view the removeAttr() documentation example.

Replying to rwaldron:

This will fix your issue:

$("#Save").prop("disabled", false);

[Timmy Willison]

This should probably stay open since we still want to support this in attr/removeAttr, even though prop is the preferred usage. I did narrow it down to the argument check causing a repaint, so that is really weird, but I'll assign this to myself and play with it.

FYI: IE 8 has the same problem above.

I've test with: IE 6 SP1, IE 6 SP3, IE 7 IE 8 and IE9. I have the same problem above. I try

.prop("disabled", false);
.prop("readonly", false);

but not work.
