Tricky Forms question

JayBuys · Feb 1, 2002

I'd to have a form with certain elements that remain disabled until a user checks a certain box.
Example.. there's a checkbox and a textfield ont the screen. The textfield is disabled. Once the user checks the checkbox, the textfield is enabled.
I'm pretty sure this is possible but am not sure how to do it. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
J

Here's a very rough example, but it demonstrates what you want.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Enable/Disable</title>
<script>
function checkMe() {
  if (document.forms.f1.c1.checked)
     document.forms.f1.t1.disabled=false;
  else
     document.forms.f1.t1.disabled=true;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form name=&quot;f1&quot;>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;c1&quot; onClick=&quot;checkMe()&quot;>
<br>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; width=&quot;20&quot; name=&quot;t1&quot;>
</form>

<script>
// disable the textbox once page has loaded
document.forms.f1.t1.disabled=true;
</script>

</body>
</html>
