Disable Controls

FRANDAZZO · Apr 26, 2001

Hello all ,
Question - I have to disable some html controls. Not a problem in I.E. but they do not disable in Netscape. Basically I have a function and I call it in the onLoad of the body tag. In the funcion I have the following code:

function FormLoad()
{
document.frmQuestion.rdoCML[0].disabled = true //radio
document.frmQuestion.rdoCML[1].disabled = true
document.frmQuestion.rdoCML[2].disabled = true
document.frmQuestion.rdoCML[3].disabled = true
document.frmQuestion.cboDose.disabled = true //drop down
document.frmQuestion.cboFrequency.disabled = true
document.frmQuestion.cboLength.disabled = true
}//end function

How do I make this work in Netscape.......

Thanks,
Frandazzo

Sorry don't know an easy way to make it work in Netscape.

But you could put code in the onClick of each control (to reset the value after the user clicks the control). That would work in both, but is probably more painful.

Sorry...

Use the "onFocus=blur" trick.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script language="JavaScript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="myTextBox">
<input type="button" value="Disable" onClick="disable(this.form.myTextBox)">
<input type="button" value="Enable" onClick="enable(this.form.myTextBox)">
</form>
</body>
</html>
