Newbie with probabley simple problem

Lukelrc · Jun 8, 2004

Hi,

I have an ASP page in which are two textfields. What i want is these
to be disabeled if a checkbox is ticked in the previous page. However
it doesnt work.

This is what i have:

<script type="text/javascript">
function disableischecked()
var ischecked = "<%=request("chkall")%>"
if (ischecked = "on")
{
document.fmChoice.cboPickYear.disabled=true;
document.fmChoice.cboPickMonth.disabled=true;
alert("it works!")
}
</script>

</head>

<body onload ="disableischecked()">

<form action="Edit.asp" method="get" name="fmChoice" id="fmChoice">

<select name="cboPickYear" id="cboPickYear" size="2"
style="width:100px;" onChange="submit()></select>

<select name="cboPickMonth" size = "2" style="width:100px;"
id="cboPickMonth" onChange="submit()"></select>

.........

If i take out:

var ischecked = "<%=request("chkall")%>"
if (ischecked = "on")

from the disableischecked()function it will disable the textboxes and
the message will pop up, but i need it to be conditional on wheather
chkall = "on".

Any help would be much appreciated!

var ischecked = "<%=request("chkall")%>"

Print out the value of ischecked here.

The Javascript problem is that you're trying to use the assignment
operator "=" to test for equality. You need to use "==".

A more basic error is that you're using a combination of server
side ASP and client side Javascript to do what could be done in
ASP alone. Rather than using ASP to set a variable, use it to
set the DISABLED attribute in the HTML definition of your form
elements.

Thanks for the help, here's how i did it:

<select <% if Request("chkall") = "on" then %>DISABLED<% end if %>
name="cboPickYear" id="cboPickYear" style="width:60px;"
onChange="submit()" ></select>

Easy as that!
