Can you enable a text field if it was disabled?

I have this code in a function:

document.form1.elements[i].readonly = 'false'
document.form1.elements[i].value='red';

The text field can get the value 'red' assigned to it, so I know I have the right object.

I can't get disabled=false readonly=false or anything to enable the text field again. Is there something that works?

OK, so now I just found out you can't change items in the 'element' array. I tried the disable='false' with the real object name, and it works. How do I do this with a function? What can I pass to the function so that it will know what text field I am referring to.
