mydiv.filters.item(0).enabled = true;

Another method is to specify the item's index by its name. In the following example, the script enables the DropShadow filter and disable the Engrave filter. Here is the code, followed by its result. Notice how one filter is referenced by its index and the other filter is referenced by its name:

<DIV ID="mydiv" STYLE="width: 40%; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.engrave() 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.DropShadow(color='red', OffX=3, OffY=2)">
<IMAGE SRC="bicycle.gif"><FONT COLOR="blue">In this page we explain the basics of 
using filters.</FONT>
</DIV>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
mydiv.filters.item(1).enabled = 1;
mydiv.filters.item("DXImageTransform.Microsoft.engrave").enabled = 0;
// -->
</SCRIPT>
