In this example the aria-disabled attribute on the element with an ID of saveChanges is set to "true" indicating that this input is currently disabled. Using ariaDisabled we update the value to "false".

js
let el = document.getElementById("saveChanges");
console.log(el.ariaDisabled); // "true"
el.ariaDisabled = "false";
console.log(el.ariaDisabled); // "false"
