Apparently in IE7 you can no longer use

control.disabled = true;
control.disabled = false;

Instead you must use

control.disabled = 'disabled';

But

control.disabled = 'enabled'

doesn't work.

Neither does

control.disabled = '';

Anyone know the correct cross-browser solution for dynamically
enabling/disabling checkboxes ?

Thanks.

disabled is a boolean property so setting it to true or false is the
right way, I don't see anything in
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533732.aspx>
that this has changed in IE 7.
