Need help w/ re-enabling disabled submit button..

DarkShadowWing · September 6, 2009

Hi all, I'm having a bit of a problem..

I need to disable the submit button on body onload, and i need to re-enable it when "i agree" is checked.

the problem is, it wont do this..

it literally stays disabled, even after check mark..

code:

<html>
<head><title>Metal Detecting</title></head>
<body onload="disable()" oncontextmenu="return false;">
<script>
function disable(){
if(document.forms.test.agree.checked == false){
document.forms.test.s1.disabled = true;
}
}

function enable(){
if(document.forms.test.agree.checked == true){
document.forms.test.s1.disabled = false;
}
}
function checkCheckBox(f) {
  if (f.agree.checked == false) {
    alert('You MUST agree to the terms by checking the box above.');
    return false;
  }else{
    enable()
    return true;
    }
}
var max=255;
function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) {
if (field.value.length > maxlimit){ // if too long...trim it!
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
// otherwise, update 'characters left' counter
}else{
countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;
}
}
function submitonce(theform){
//if IE 4+ or NS 6+
if (document.all||document.getElementById){
//screen thru every element in the form, and hunt down "submit" and "reset"
for (i=0;i<theform.length;i++){
var tempobj=theform.elements[i]
if(tempobj.type.toLowerCase()=="submit"||tempobj.type.toLowerCase()=="reset")
//disable em
tempobj.disabled=true
}
}
}
function checkdata(which) {
  var pass=true;
var t1 = document.forms.test;
  for (i=0;i<which.length;i++) {
    var tempobj=which.elements[i];
    if (tempobj.name.substring(0,=="required") {
      if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&
          tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&
          tempobj.selectedIndex==0)) {
        pass=false;
        break;
      }
    }
  }
  if (!pass) {
    shortFieldName=tempobj.name.substring(8,30).toUpperCase();
    alert("The "+shortFieldName+" field is a required field.");
    return false;
  } else {
  return true;
  }
}

different pieces that are easy to analyze. */

   }
}

/* domain name seems valid, but now make sure that it ends in a
known top-level domain (like com, edu, gov) or a two-letter word,
representing country (uk, nl), and that there's a hostname preceding 
the domain or country. */

if (checkTLD && domArr[domArr.length-1].length!=2 && 
domArr[domArr.length-1].search(knownDomsPat)==-1) {
alert("The address must end in a well-known domain or two letter " + "country.");

Please contact us!<br><br>
*Please note you can submit the form ONLY once. Any double form submissions will be deleted.<br>
<form name="test" id="test" method="POST" onsubmit="return checkdata(this), emailCheck(this.email.value), checkCheckBox(this)" action="send.php">
<div id = "div01" style="width: 100; height: 25;">
  Firstname: <input name="requiredfirstname" id="firstname" type="text" />
  Lastname: <input name="requiredlastname" id="lastname" type="text" />
  Email: <input name="requiredemail" id="email" type="text" /><br /><br />
</div>
<H4>Your statement: </H4>
  <textarea onKeyDown="textCounter(this.form.statement,this.form.counter,max);" onKeyUp="textCounter(this.form.statement,this.form.counter,max);" name="requiredstatement" id="statement" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br />
Characters left: <input readonly="readonly" value="255" size=3 maxlength=3 type="text" name="counter" id="counter"><br/><br />
<textarea name="license" cols="40" rows="15" id="license">Blah!</textarea><br/>
<input name="agree" id="agree" type="checkbox"> I have read & agree to the above<br/>
  <input name="s1" id="s1" value="Submit" type="submit" /> <input type="reset" name="rset" value="Reset" /><br/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

if its possible to make it do both in 1 function, please show an example. if you have to use 2 functions, then also show me an example.

ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!
