First you have to explain what a "disabled background" is. Assuming that
your form elements are disabled and you don't want the "grey" disabled
view of it, you can loop through the form elements and set them to
enabled, or disabled to false. Search the archives.

Correct.
2) what part of my quesiton you did not understand. what does disabled

Disabled form elements means they are disabled. I did not question that.
I questioned what you meant by "disabled background". Literally, that
means the background is disabled.
3) if you have nothing to say, then please dont
If you can't concisely ask your question, then please don't bitch about
the answers you get.

And you still have not explained what you mean.

I *think* what you want is to change the appearance of a disabled form
element? You use CSS for that.
news:comp.infos ystems.www.authoring.stylesheets is the place to ask that

What does this have to do with JavaScript? Ask in:

news:comp.infos ystems.www.authoring.stylesheets
Before you do, note that the HTML 4 specification defines a disabled
attribute for the following elements: BUTTON, INPUT, OPTGROUP, OPTION,
SELECT, TEXTAREA.

Form elements don't have a disabled attribute, though some browsers may
support it

In some browsers, a disabled element does not have a grey background,
though the text (if any) that is in the element is usually grey instead.

If you intend to changing the colour using CSS, not all browsers support
styles on all elements, e.g. older versions of Safari do not allow
styling of the elements listed above (though I think the latest version
does).

Hello everybody, I have some code that disables form elements on body load, but I notice when I hit the "back" button, I need to re-enable the form elements (that is done by clicking on a radial button). Is there any way I can keep the form for disabling every time a user hits the back button and "remember" what elements should be enabled? I was thinking maybe utilizing some referrer thing, but I'm not that good with JS yet. Thanks...
