Client-side enable/disable button

[M O J O]

Hi,

I have a webform with a textbox and a button.

When the textbox is empty (=""), I want the button to be disabled. When
the user enters text in the textbox, the button must be enabled.

Is this possible?

(please if possible, show me the code)

Thanks!!!

You could do this by making your textbox AutoPostBack=true, and then
dropping some enable/disable code for your button into the event -- but that
would be horribly annoying (lots of postbacks).

A better alternative is probably to look at javascript solutions.

Something like:
<input type="text"
onChange="document.forms[0].myButton.disabled=(this.value='');" >

Hello Riki,

I think you mean (this.value == '');

Otherwise youre consistently setting the value to an empty string.

Hi,

If I use AutoPostBack, this wouldn't be client-side, right? ) ... but
thanks anyway!

Hi,

Cool thanks!!!

I just made a little correction...

Me.txtMyTextBox.Attributes.Add("OnKeyUp", "document.all." &
Me.cmdMyButtonTlfSøg.ClientID & ".disabled=(this.value=='')")

This works excatly like I wanted.

THANKS!!!!!!!

Oops!
You're right of course.
