Why does IE suck? Save that one for another thread.

Using JavaScript to disable and enable a textarea based upon a drop down selection. All options, but the last one, in the selection box are set to disable the textarea. The text area is set to disabled by default.

All entered text and the drop down selection are to be saved to a database.

Here's the source:

[code]
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="dataincourse.php" name="form1">

<script>
function enable6(){
if (document.all || document.getElementById){
if (document.form1.test6.disabled==true)
document.form1.test6.disabled=false
else
document.form1.test6.disabled=false
}
}
function disable6(){
if (document.all || document.getElementById){
if (document.form1.test6.disabled==true)
document.form1.test6.disabled=true
else
document.form1.test6.disabled=true
}
}
</script>
