disable textfield entry using JS?

[homerUK]

hi everyone (again!!)

is it possible to make a function in JS which will disable a textfield?

I know you can add "readonly" to the field... but can this be done via the javascript on an event?

thanks!

you could try

<form><textarea onkeypress="return false"></textarea></form>

Will this do?




<SCRIPT>
function enable(){
if (document.test1.test1.disabled==true)
document.test1.test1.disabled=false
else
document.test1.test1.disabled=true
}
</SCRIPT>

<FORM name=test1>
<P><INPUT type=text value="Hello World" name="test1" disabled=true> <A href="javascript:enable()">Click here</A>
</FORM>
