Readonly

[Hamish]

I have an input box which is created with the readonly option included. Is
it possible to turn this off.

This is so the input box is not selectable untill a radio button is switched
on.

I have tried form.ip.readonly = false, but this doesn't work

Thanks

Case is important, the name of that property is readOnly and not readonly:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTM...ml#ID-88461592
so try
<input type="radio"
onclick="if (this.checked) {
this.form.elements.inputName.readOnly = false;
}">

....
<form action='get'>
<input type='text' disabled id='tf' value='Hello!'>
<input type='button'
onclick='document.getElementById("tf").disabled=fa lse;'
value='Enable'>
