password text box??

[madams]

I have a HTML form with a disabled text field.

I do not want just anybody to be able to change this text field.

However it would be helpful if certain selected users, by password or otherwise, could change the contents of this text form field.

Is this possible?

Any suggestions?

Am I dreaming?

Post your HTML (Just the form please, and no formatting tags) and I'll write a quick example that you can either cut and paste, or build from.

This input field is not part of a form, but needs only to be changed by people with authority (or password)

<input name=&quot;IS_ATTR_PhoneNumber&quot; size=&quot;15&quot; tabIndex=&quot;3&quot; maxLength=&quot;15&quot; disabled>

cheers

Something like this would work. I'm not sure how you want to perform the verification. Basically you can just add that line to your verification function or call on it seperately.


<script language=javascript>
function updatePhone()
{
eval(&quot;document.all.IS_ATTR_PhoneNumber.disabled = false;&quot;
}
</script>

<input name=&quot;IS_ATTR_PhoneNumber&quot; size=&quot;15&quot; tabIndex=&quot;3&quot; maxLength=&quot;15&quot; disabled>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Change&quot; onClick=&quot;updatePhone();&quot;>

If someone looks at the Javascript code for the page, they'll be able to see what passwords or authorization information will give them access to the text box. Also, ALL inputs MUST be part of a form, or they will not work consistently
