Greetings!!!
I would like to ask how to disable or lock textbox so that the data in it
will not be edited? Does it require javascripting or ASP could handle that?
If it uses javascript could you give me a sample javascript. Thank you very
much.

Subject: [asp_web_howto] focus on text box
Hi,
I have created an asp file which dynamically creates text boxes according
to data extracted from database. For each box I have onchange event handler
to call a subroutine to validate user input. So validation will be done
whenever user finished input on one text box , say box1, and press tab.
In the subroutine, in case the user input is invalid, I have problem to set
back the focus on the input box and select the text . Everytime the focus
is on the next text box, say box2. My code(in vbscript where x is the
ordinal number within the elements array) is as folow:
form1.elements(x).focus
form1.elements(x).select
I further tried to change the value of the input box (box1) in case of
invalid input data . This time the value of the input box (box1) is changed
to 'aaaa' but the focus is still on the next text box (box2). The code is
as follow:
form1.elements(x).value="aaaa"
form1.elements(x).focus
form1.elements(x).select
I further tried to click on other text box, say box6, after inputting
invalid data in the box1. This time the focus is on box6.
Please help.
Thanks

2 Ways of doing this.....depending on how you want the presentation
1......
<form name="xxx" action="your.asp" method="POST">
<!-- First I show the key/date but do not allow changes to them...hide it
so it gets passed with the POST-->
<p>Key: <%=form_id%></p><input type="hidden" name="id" value="<%=form_id%>">
<p>Date: <%=form_indate%></p><input type="hidden" name="indate"
value="<%=form_indate%>"></p>
<!-- Now open up the fields that the user can change...-->
<p>Account:<input type="TEXT" name="inacct" size="07"
value="<%=form_inacct%>">
<p> <input type="SUBMIT" value="Change Record"> </p>
</form>
2........
Just put the key word Read-only
<input type="TEXT" name="inacct" size="07" value="<%=form_inacct%>"
read-only>
<!-- This prevents the user from changing the text in a field-->

IE supports the Disabled propery, but this actually grays it out which is
not always desirable.
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" ID="chk1" ... DISABLED>
you can then turn this on and off dynamically
document.all.chk1.disabled = true/false
A more comprehensive solution for supporting more browsers would be to add
in an onclick event handler that changes the checked property back after its
clicked
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" ...
ONCLICK="(this.checked)?this.checked=false:this.checked=true;">
turning this on and off is a bit trickier, but can be done - let us know if
you need more help

This will work, it is for a list box but you can do the same for a text box
as well
I am preety sure not in Netscape though...
<select name="cat" class="select200" disabled>
<option value="38">First Thoughts</option>
<option value="36">Interviews</option>
<option value="37">Local Authorities</option>
</select>

'readonly' is one word, it only applies to text input fields and textareas,
and it only works in IE
but it is nice because it doesn't grey out the field.

for check boxes this is only effective if you tab to it - if you click it
with the mouse then it will still check or clear the checkbox. This is a
very effective solution for text input fields though.
