after i disabled a <input type="button"> I want to re-enable it so it can be clicked again. I am disabling the button by doing this.

test() {
document.form[0].tes.disabled=true;
}
<input type="button" name="tes" onClick="test()">

this should make the button toggle the input between enabled and disabled...

function not_test() {
document.forms[0].tes.disabled=(document.forms[0].tes.disabled)?false:true;
}

I would not use 'test' as the function name - that is a built-in function in javascript
----edit----
There was a few typos, forms[] not form[]
ALso I'm just realizing that you want to enable and disable the button that you actually click on to call the function... don't think this will work.

Hi chrismiceli,
what condition do you want to reach that enables the button?

here is my script i would assume the stuff in bold would make the disabled function become enabled but it doesn't.

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script language="javascript">
function stats() {
spd = prompt("Please enter your speed", "Enter it here");
}
function di() {
var ran_num = Math.round(5*Math.random()) + 1;
document.form1.res.value = ran_num;
if (document.form1.res.value > 3) {
var ran_num0 = Math.round(5*Math.random()) + 1;
document.form1.res0.value = ran_num0}
else document.form1.res0.value = "0";
document.form1.put.disabled=1;
}
function dmg(v1) {
--spd
var fh = v1;
document.form1.foehealth.value = fh - document.form1.res0.value
if (spd <= 0) {
document.form1.put.disabled=1;
document.form1.hit.disabled=0;}
document.form1.res.value = "";
document.form1.res0.value = "";
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="stats()">
<form name="form1">
Enemy's Health:<br>
<input type="text" name="foehealth" size="12" value="500"><p>
<input type="text" name="res" size="2" value="">
Roll to see if you will hit.<br>
<input type="text" name="res0" size="2" value="">
You will deal this much damage.<br>
<input type="button" name="put" value="Roll Dice" onClick="di()"><p>
<input type="button" name="hit" value="Attack" onClick="dmg(document.form1.foehealth.value)">
</form>
</body>
</html>
