works in firebox and netscape but in IE get object expected 1

[mcghee31]

I have a basic script that disable and enables twp input text boxes. It works in Firefox and Netscape but on in Internet Explorer 6

I call the external script in the html head using:

<script type="text/javascript" src="./include/enable_disable.js"></script>

I call the function using the onclick using:

<div class="new">
<label for="new">New</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="enable_disable" value="new" id="new" onclick="codename()" />
</div>


so basically onclick will call the js function codename().
I know it must be a sytax issue that is needed in IE6 that is not needed for firefox or netscape but I have no idea.

newbie seeking help


javascript code




function codename()
{

if(document.appts.new.checked)
{
document.appts.req_f_name.disabled=false;
document.appts.req_l_name.disabled=false;
}

else
{
document.appts.req_f_name.disabled=true;
document.appts.req_l_name.disabled=true;
}

}

Try this as a replacement function:

function codename() {
	var frm = document.forms['appts'].elements;

	if (frm['enable_disable'].checked) {
		frm['req_f_name'].disabled = false;
		frm['req_l_name'].disabled = false;
	} else {
		frm['req_f_name'].disabled = true;
		frm['req_l_name'].disabled = true;
	}
}

You were referring to "new" which was an ID, and I think that IE might count that as a reserved word.

Hope this helps,
