Can't remove disabled attribute from button

Question

I'm trying to make a button available only if the content of an input changed this way:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('input[name="tesztinput1"]').keyup(function(){
          alert('Content has been changed');
          if ($(this).val())
          {
            $('input[name="tesztinput3"]').removeAttr('disabled');
          }
        })
});

And in the HTML:

<input name="tesztinput1" type="text"/>
<input name="tesztinput3" type="button" disabled="disabled" value="Click"/>

It properly works if the element which i want to remove disable attribute is a text input aswell but not working on buttons and submit elements. Any idea?

So this part of the code itself seems to be okay I tested every suggestion in the recent answer and no result. What else could block me from executing an action like this?

It should work but preferred method is to use prop instead: `$('input[name="tesztinput3"]').prop('disabled',false);` — A. Wolff, Jan 15 '14 at 21:22
Your code *already works*. If not, then there's something you else going on and you didn't include it in the question. Have you checked the browser console for errors? — Pointy, Jan 15 '14 at 21:26

Use .prop(),

To disable

 $('input[name="tesztinput3"]').prop('disabled', true);

To enable

 $('input[name="tesztinput3"]').prop('disabled', false);

DEMO

Also read .prop() vs .attr()

Well, I didn't succeed in solving the problem but i found a workaround: I use readonly instead of disabled, because of something it works correctly.

You can use a "Input" rather than "Button":

$('input[name="tesztinput3"]').prop('disabled', false);

Just work in a "Input".
