how to make a form unselectable?

Hi All,

I am facing a technical problem. I have craeated one form and in that
I have a table. in that table user can select a row and by using shift
key user can select multiple rows. this i did by changing the
background color. this works fine.

But if a user selectes one row in table and then click somewhere else
in the form with shift key. Then form get selected. I make every div
and cell in the table to be unselectable by "unselectable=' on'". but
this is not woking.

what to do to make the form unselectable.

Thanks

try this:

// put here your form's id
var myForm = document.getEle mentById("formI d");
// this one is for IE
myForm.onselect start = function(){retu rn false;};
// these are for FF and Opera
myForm.onmoused own = function(){retu rn false;};
myForm.onclick = function(){retu rn true;};

The second form is frmTrialInfo. Each Trial can have three Classes. The third form is frmClassInfo. These forms are used for update and adding new records.

Hi, I have a MS Access DB in which a record has just too many fields to be able to allow users to do inline editing in a datagrid. So I want to display as First Name: Text box where first name is displayed and can be edited. Last Name: Text box where last name is displayed and can be edited. At the end of this list, I want to have two buttons, update and cancel.

The script at the bottom of the html page controls the form fields that are required. It doesn't function like it's supposed to and I can leave all the fields blank and it still submits the form.

When the vehicle entry form (frmVehicleEntryForm) first opens, the additional owner SubForm control (frmAddnlOwnrListSubForm) is enabled. You can click on it and it will accept the focus. But after you enter data to the first field on the main form (a VIN#), that is not the case. The SubForm control becomes disabled and will not accept the focus. Dunno why. There's no child/master link fields. They have no settings - at least not in design...

Hello i have made a custom control. i have placed a panel on it. I want this panel to behave just like the normal panel. The problem i was having is that the panel on my custom control doesnt accept other controls.
