Here is a javascript function which will sort of do what you want:

function PanelClick(Sender, e) {
  var scroll1 = $get('<%=mycustomscroll.ClientID%>');
  var scroll2 = $get('<%=mycustomscroll2.ClientID%>');
  if(Sender._activeTabIndex == 0) {
    scroll1.setAttribute('class', 'flexcroll');
    scroll2.setAttribute('class', '');
  } else if(Sender._activeTabIndex == 1) {
    scroll1.setAttribute('class', '');
    scroll2.setAttribute('class', 'flexcroll');
  }
}

There really is no such thing as "enabled" in HTML and JavaScript. HTML has a "disabled" attribute, but it only applies to these elements: button, input, optgroup, option, select and textarea. It is used like so:

<input type="text" name="txtSomething" id="txtSomething" disabled="disabled">

and in JavaScript, similar to setting the class attribute, above:

$get('txtSomething').setAttribute('disabled','disabled'); // disable the input
$get('txtSomething').setAttribute('disabled',''); // enable the input

But this will not work for other elements like <div> and <span> tags.
