hi,
I have an html page, which I need disable meanwhile it is submited. My trouble is: I have a popup where user selects an option, I code with onchange() the submit, and I included this code:

    frmMtRol.submit();
    window.disabled= true;
    document.body.style.cursor = "wait";

but the popup is not disabled, how do I disablethe popup?

thanks

renees

You can't disable a whole window. Disable any buttons that you don't want pressed or you could try disabling the form if you have one.

Of couse, why do u want to disable it?. After submitting it, you can close the popup using window.close.

First, Renee, I don't quite understand what you're doing, so maybe you could clarify.

Second, Joe is right. There is no way to disable the entire page.

Third, I don't think the form has a disabled property.

Fourth, I sure wish a form did have such a property. It would save all of us a lot of work if we want to prevent the user from interacting with the form while something is happening (e.g., a postback)! I have spent considerable time disabling controls on a page, only to find out I missed one. And I've seen other web pages that try to do the same thing, so I'm not alone on this.

Well in IE the form does have disabled property (5.5+) but I've never used it.
