effigy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Use <body onload="disableField()">, or call the function through the script tags. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/38510-disabling-textfield/#findComment-184765 Share on other sites More sharing options...

effigy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Within the head tag, or in the body after the element. Do you really need javascript here? Can you not echo these values out with the HTML (<input ... disabled="disabled"/>)?
