Text boxes validated by pressing radio button

Hello!

I need to know ASAP what must I do to let the user view a text box shaded and can not write on it, until he presses a determined value of a radio button.

Thanks in advance folks,

shaded is "disabled" to make it change on the focus of a radio/check box will require some scripting, I did see something along these lines somewhere but will have to rack the old grey matter to find it.

Here's something you can play around with:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script>

function tarv(inVal) {
if (inVal == 'yes') {
frmTest.txt1.disabled = false;
frmTest.txt1.focus();
}
else {
frmTest.txt1.disabled = true;
frmTest.txt2.focus();
}
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frmTest">
Value 1: <input type="text" name="txt1" value="Hello" disabled="true"><br>
Value 2: <input type="text" name="txt2"><br>
Enable <input type="radio" name="radio1" onClick="tarv('yes');">
Disable <input type="radio" name="radio1" onClick="tarv('no');" checked>
</form>
</body>
</html>

You could also look into the onFocus and onBlur events of the radio buttons trigger actions.
