Enable button from javascript click event is not working

Question

I am developing small web application in which I am having one button which is used for editing and named ButtonEdit.

I am setting this button Enabled=false at design time so, when the page is rendered the button is disabled.

Now when the checkbox is checked I am making the button enabled using javascript.

I used following code.

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

And this code works fine and makes my button enabled.

But when i click on edit button i want to fire some javascript event which is not fired.

I am having proper code in my form written with onClientClick=function().

But i think as the control is disabled from server side it will not call any event and script.

How can i resolve this problem?

@epascarello after enabling the button from javascript i am trying to click the button and fire some event or script to execute. — Nirav Kamani

Try this:

<asp:Button disabled="disabled" ID="myButton" ClientIDMode="Static" 
 Enabled="false" OnClientClick="return someFunction();" runat="server" Text="Save"  />

And then on the client side:

document.getElementById('myButton').removeAttribute('disabled'); //or jquery alternative

Still javascript is not called after the button is enabled by removing attribute.
