window.addEvent('domready', function(){

    $('mg').setAttribute('disabled','true');
    //$('mg').disabled = false  this works fine
    //does not enable text box

});

    Using mootools you can use Element method set, to actually set attributes, like so http://jsfiddle.net/steweb/p6BDb/

    js:

    var elem = $('mg');
    elem.set('disabled','disabled'); //disable
    elem.set('disabled',''); //enable
