*Normal disclaimer that I'm a terrible web developer.*

I was lead to believe that, with a `<fieldset disabled id="homeFieldset">...</fieldset>`, I could enable its controls with `$("homeFieldset").disabled = false`, but alas...nothing. Also, I'm testing this in Chrome, where it should work. Fiddle: <https://jsfiddle.net/ggrxx4hm/1/>

FWIW, debugging shows me that `$("#homeFieldset").disabled` is undefined. However, if I do `$("#homeFieldset")[0].disabled = false`, it works. Fiddle: <https://jsfiddle.net/7edje5vk/>

Edited selector in second paragraph.

Edit again: But why doesn't `.disabled = false` work?

Answer to that via @mplungjan in the comments below: "jQuery objects do not have a disabled attribute. DOM objects do. `$("#homeFieldset").disabled=false` is not valid jQuery, `document.getElementById("homeFieldset").disabled=false;` is valid DOM manipulation"
