Can I make a checkbox readonly? User can't check it?
 
jianbo:

To make a checkbox readonly use the following bit of code in the onClick event of the checkbox:

OnClick="if (true == true) return false;"

Of course where the true == true you would put your variable to check against and if it is readonly, the user would not be able to check it.

Hope this helps,
Patrick

 
A checkbox readonly?
Don't you mean disabled?
try this.

<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checkbox_1&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; disabled checked>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checkbox_2&quot; value=&quot;2&quot; disabled >


Checkbox_1 will show the check mark, checkbox_2 will show the box empty.

I thought READONLY, DISABLED were only for text type. Thanks grtfercho.
While I prefer PatrickGreen's method, my checkbox will not become greybox. Thanks.
