[jQuery] remove attribute disabled from select - IE6

[Josh Nathanson]

Hey all,
It seems as though in IE6, doing $("select").removeAttr("disabled") has no 
effect, i.e. it doesn't "re-enable" the select menu.  My code works fine in 
FF.  Is this known behavior and is there a workaround, or am I missing 
something?

I started out trying to set disabled=false, which worked in FF, but I 
thought I remembered that didn't work in IE.  That's when I went to 
removeAttr, but I'm finding that doesn't work either.

In the code below, "cb" is a jQuery object/checkbox, and "#sbs_menu" is a 
select element.

var disbl = function(cb) {
 if(cb.attr("checked")) {
  $("#sbs_menu").removeAttr("disabled");
 }
 else {
  $("#sbs_menu").attr("disabled","true");
 }
}
