Disable Drop-down and Display DIV function, only 1/2 works

[jojo79]

I am trying to display a DIV and disable a drop down box at the same time with a check-box. The code I have works perfect except when I unchecked the check-box, The drop down still stays disabled. I mean the DIV disappears fine but the drop down stays disabled. Anyone have a clue why?????

Form Name: OrderEntry
Dropdown Name: Consignee
Checkbox Name: chkcng

The dropdown is not inside of the DIV, It is directly above it. What i am tryign to do is, The dropdown is a list of customers, When the order is for a 1 time only customer, i was to disable the dropdown and display that div. everything works fine until i unckeck the checkbox.

function hidedivcng() { 
if (document.all.chkcng.checked) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6 
document.all.txtbol.style.display = 'inline';
document.OrderEntry.Consignee.disabled="true"
} 

else { 
document.all.txtbol.style.display = 'none';
document.OrderEntry.Consignee.disabled="false" 
}
}

Dunno, looks like it should work. Maybe try getting rid of the document.all out of your code. I can tell you right now that your code won't work in Firefox at all.

document.all.txtbol.style.display = 'inline';

Probably because "true" is a string, not a boolean value, and isn't being converted to a proper boolean value. Actually, it is the "false" that isn't being converted properly. Any non-empty string will evaluate to true in a boolean context. So even though you coded "false" the value getting assigned is true.
