Why can't I remove the "disabled" attribute from a textarea using jQuery?
<p>It works when I remove the disabled attribute on an input type text field but not textarea, why?</p>

<p>I set the textarea to be disabled like this:</p>

<pre><code>    $('#message').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
</code></pre>

<p>which worked, but then later when I did this:</p>

<pre><code>$('#message').removeAttr('disabled');
</code></pre>

<p>no luck.</p>

<p>The HTML:</p>

<pre><code>     &lt;textarea id="message"&gt;Type here...&lt;/textarea&gt;
</code></pre>
