Disabling Links

[Captain825]

Hi,

 

I am using Dreamweaver CS3.  I would like the links on a page to be disabled until the user clicks on a check box at which time the links would be enabled.  If the user then unchecks the check box, I would like the links to be disabled again.  I would appreciate any help on this.

 

Thanks,

Requires DOM scripting in Javascript. Look for some tutorials.

<input type="checkbox" oncheck="myDisable(this)" />

<a href="" id="link"></a>

 

<script>

 

function myDisable(e){

 

if(e.checked){

 

document.getElementById('link').disabled = true;

 

}

 

}

 

</script>

 

I think that should work, I didn't test it, just wrote.

This would be easy to get past if they have javascript disabled, unless you have all the links disabled to begin with.

How would you go about doing that?

 

EDIT:  Nevermind that... Wow... "This would be easy to get past if they have javascript disabled"

 

Oops.

Either way it's really easy to get past - I'm guessing it is for some kind of disclaimer?

Anywho if that's the case hmm.  VB script perhaps?  Or use some type of AJAX technique (though if js is disabled couldn't do it through that I guess.)

 

Or an annoying way would be submit the form when a checkbox is click and refresh the results based on that.  That will stop the JS problem.
