Initial Code
var my_textbox = document.getElementById( 'my_textbox' );

my_textbox.blur();
my_textbox.disabled = true;

// later...
my_textbox.disabled = false;
my_textbox.focus();

Initial URL

                                

Initial Description
I just noticed in Firefox 3.5.2 that setting `disabled = true` for a focused text input seems to make it impossible to re-focus after setting `disabled = false`. The solution is to blur it before disabling.
