[jQuery] Re: how to disable and enable submit button via jQuery [code included]

[Allan Mullan]

I believe this is because you can't actually remove the attribute 
"disabled" - Instead try doing $("#submitanswer).attr("enabled", "enabled");
(plus you had an error in your syntax, you didn't put a # in that 
removeAttr line...)

Hope that helps

                                $('#answer'+'count').text('Count: '+ 
$("#answer").val().length);

                                if( $("#answer").val().length > 200 ){
                                alert('ere');
                                        
$("submitanswer").removeAttr("disabled");
                                }

                        }
                );
