I want to disable it as soon as a value from dropdown has been selected

[mubeensamoon]

I have a drop down menu with a few options and I want to enable the selected portion and disable the other portions once I select a value from dropdown using PHP.

you can't do this with php. use javascript.

Moved.

 

Are you sure you want to use a dropdown for after they've made their selection? It's not like they can change it anymore.

I suggest you reconsider whether you want to prevent the user from changing their mind, or else use Javascript to change the input entirely - like from a dropdown to a hidden input and plain text.

<select name="foo">
<option value="value1">Option 1</option>
<option value="value2">Option 2</option>
</select>

<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="value1">
Option 1

Can you help me to write javascript for the above? And also let me know the below query

 

I have two buttons namely "Submit" and "Add" in a web page. I want to disable submit button if I click on Add and vice versa.

 

Thanks.

What's the difference between "Submit" and "Add"? The former is just a generic term and the latter implies a specific sort of action.

Add will upload the selected file to the application and Submit will add the user entered text in the application. I need to disable one if the other one is selected.

Use two forms. Besides the fact that having those two buttons on the same form would be confusing, if someone chooses a file to upload and then hits Submit, the file still gets uploaded. If you use two separate forms then you avoid that.

Hi

 

Form 1

<?php 

 

$this->renderPartial('_form', array('modelRebate'=>$modelRebate,'modelUploadAnn'=>$modelUploadAnn)); ?>

 

 

<h3>File Uploader</h3>

 

Form 2

 

<?php 

//Defining the modelUploadedImage

$modelUploadAnn->file_prf = $modelRebate->rebate_prf;

$this->renderPartial('/files/uploadAnn',array('modelUploadAnn'=> $modelUploadAnn));  ?>

 

 

 

I am using the above two forms for the buttons but I am not able to arrive at the answer.

 

 

 

How to disable the one when the other one is selected.???
