Hi, how does when check if a dropdwon readonly value is set to true!
I imported an CSS for my dropdwon but now when user says disable it does not work - i need xslt to check if readonly property has changed the add this code to only that field
          var z=dhtmlXComboFromSelect("<xsl:value-of select='$Name' />");
          z.disable(true);

The problem is also that the user sets the property after the page is loaded - is this possible - please assist!



  <xsl:template name="ListValueType">
      <xsl:param name="Name" />
      <xsl:param name="Attributes" />
      <xsl:param name="Options" />
      <xsl:param name="Value" />
        <xsl:element name="asp:dropdownlist">
          <xsl:attribute name='id'>
            <xsl:value-of select='$Name' />
          </xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name='runat'>server</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:for-each select="$Attributes/Attribute">
            <xsl:attribute name='{@name}'>
              <xsl:value-of select='.' />
            </xsl:attribute>
          </xsl:for-each>
          <xsl:for-each select='$Value/Options/Option'>
            <xsl:element name="asp:ListItem">
              <xsl:attribute name='Value'>
                <xsl:value-of select='.' />
              </xsl:attribute>
              <xsl:if test="@selected[. = 'true']">
                <xsl:attribute name='selected'>true</xsl:attribute>
              </xsl:if>
              <xsl:value-of select='.' />
            </xsl:element>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:element>
        <script TYPE='text/javascript'>
          var z=dhtmlXComboFromSelect("<xsl:value-of select='$Name' />");
          z.disable(true);
        </script>
</xsl:template>

Remember that the XSLT code is generating an HTML page. It can't react to things the user does because it has finished executing long before the user sees the page. You can generate script in the HTML page that responds to user events, but the XSLT code itself can't respond to user input.

I think your code would be so much more readable if you used literal result elements in place of xsl:element and xsl:attribute:

<asp:dropdownlist id="{$Name}" runat="server">
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="$Value/Options/Option">
    <asp:ListItem Value="{.}">
      <xsl:if test="@selected='true'">
        <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>

etc

Hi, Thank You for the help - really appreciate it.

But i have to apologize for the unnecessary post as i just thought of another method instead of struggling to get this going.

I simply just have to check if it has to be disable - then make it not visible & show a text box with it's value!

Thank You

Regards
