Enable disabled checkbox via select list

[nikko50]

Hi all. With the below test form I'm trying to enable the checkbox only when the user select the "CLOSED" option from the select box. Initially when the form loads the checkbox ihas a onClick=\"return false\" event. How can I do this??

<form method="POST" name="theForm" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
 
  <p><input type="checkbox" onClick="return false" name="TEST"></p>
  <p><select name="STATUS">
    <option value="ACTIVE">ACTIVE</option>
    <option value="CLOSED">CLOSED</option>
  </select></p>

  <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>

Here you are, Tracy:-

<form method="POST" name="theForm" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
 
  <p><input type="checkbox" name="TEST" disabled></p>
  <p><select name="STATUS" onchange = "fixTest()">
    <option value="ACTIVE">ACTIVE</option>
    <option value="CLOSED">CLOSED</option>
  </select></p>

<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>

<script type = "text/javascript">
function fixTest() {
x = document.theForm.STATUS.value;
if (x == "CLOSED") {
document.theForm.TEST.disabled = false;
}
else {   // if user switches back to ACTIVE
document.theForm.TEST.checked= false;
document.theForm.TEST.disabled = true;
}
}
</script>

Did you receive the PM I sent you a while back?

Well, I do tend to remember the names of people who have a great many posts (all requesting assistance) but zero thanks.
