solarisuser Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hi All, Is it possible to use innerHTML to grey out (disable) a <input type=text> field when a particular checkbox (lets say, id=check123) has been clicked? Thanks... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/60272-greyed-out-input-text-field-with-innerhtml/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
akitchin Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 i don't know about using innerHTML, but why not simply change the disabled attribute of the input? all you'd have to do is set it to true and it would grey out the box and make it unchangeable.

roopurt18 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 akitchin is correct, I just wanted to add that you should avoid using innerHTML as much as possible.

mainewoods Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 the problem with setting disabled is that the form field value will not transmitted on submit. with a text field you can set readOnly instead: document.getElementById('textfieldID').readOnly = true; http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_text.asp Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/60272-greyed-out-input-text-field-with-innerhtml/#findComment-303833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
