So I have this link to press

<a href="link" target="_blank">
    <div class="well">
        <span> blabla </span>
    </div>
</a>

and this button code in a page

<button  type="submit" class="btn-primary btn-lg" disabled="disabled"> Blabla </button>

And as you can see the button is disabled for now. How can I make that when I press that link the button to be enabled again? sorry for my bad English..

Try this generalized function for toggleDisabled

//Generalized function to make element toggleDisabled.
(function($) {
    $.fn.toggleDisabled = function(){
        return this.each(function(){
            this.disabled = !this.disabled;
        });
    };
})(jQuery);
//Code to use toggleDisabled
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("a").click(function(){
      $("button[type='submit']").toggleDisabled();
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a href="link" target="_blank">
    <div class="well">
        <span> blabla </span>
    <div>
</a> 
<br/>      
<button  type="submit" class="btn-primary btn-lg" disabled="disabled"> Blabla </button>

Hope this code will be useful

document.getElementById('click').onclick = function(event){
// on click prevent the default behavior
event.preventDefault();
document.getElementsByClassName('btn-primary')[0].disabled = false;
}

I would suggest adding an id property to your button and link so they are easier to access with Javascript. Let's say you assign id="myButton" to the button and id="myLink" to the anchor tag:

$('#myLink').on('click', function() {
   $('#myButton').prop('disabled', false);
});

here you go:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("a").click(function(){
    $("button[type='submit']").removeAttr('disabled');
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
 <a href="link" target="_blank"><div class="well">
    <span> blabla </span>
    <div></a>
   
<button  type="submit" class="btn-primary btn-lg" disabled="disabled"> Blabla </button>
