asp_web_howto thread: Fields and button freeze


Message #1 by "Sandra" <slau@p...> on Wed, 27 Jun 2001 22:33:23
Hi, 



The form for my ASP SQL query in another page requires both fields to be 

filled in, but I don't know how to disable the button until both fields 

have data. 



Any suggestions? 



Thanks in advance, 

Sandra

Trap the error at the client side.  So that the form cannot be submitted

until both fields have some data in

regards

Alan

make the button disabled initially,



<INPUT TYPE=3D"BUTTON" ID=3D"button1" ... DISABLED>



then have an onBlur routine on each field that goes something like this



function enableButton(){

=09

if((document.forms(0).field1.value!=3D"")&&(document.forms(0).field2.val

ue!=3D""

)){

		document.forms(0).button1.disabled=3Dfalse;

	} else {

		document.forms(0).button1.disabled=3Dtrue;

	}

}



(Although I'm not sure if Nescape supports the disabled property)
