How to find out if a field is readonly or not?

[vthv]

Hi,

On a web application, I need to detect if a field is readonly or not, but I can't find any VBScript code to accomplish this task. If the field is not readonly, I then need to populate some data into it. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank you in advance, and Happy Holidays!

Tim.

Typed, not tested. But, it should point you in the right direction. The error handling is in there because I don't know if all <input> tags have a readOnly property. Also, I'm pretty sure the .name property will throw an error if the <input> doesn't have one set.

Dim colInputs, oInput
Set colInputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input")
For Each oInput In colInputs
  On Error Resume Next
  If oInput.readOnly Then
    Alert oInput.name & ".readOnly=True"
  Else
    Alert oInput.name & ".readOnly=False"
  End If
  On Error Goto 0
Next
