hey all..

another netscape issue........

can you disable a dropdown (select box) in netscape...I can do it in IE like so....

document.doublecombo.elements["stage"+a].disabled=true;

but in Netscape, it doesn't work..I can still pull it down..

any advice.

Try something like this:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
function toggle() {
var s=document.forms["myform"].sel;
if (document.layers) {
s.onfocus=myBlur;
} else {
s.disabled=true;
}
}

function myBlur() {
var obj=arguments.callee.arguments[0].target;
obj.blur();
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
Test Page
<form name="myform">
<select name="sel">
<option>hello</option>
<option>world</option>
</select>
 
<input type="button" value="disable" onclick="toggle()">
</form>

</body>
</html>
