javascript: disabeling form fields

[Unregistered]

Hi,

First, excuse me for my bad English, I'm Dutch.... :-)

I know there's a lot of information about disabeling form fields, but
cannot find the script I need:

I'm looking for a script where, if you fill in the first of two fields
the second field is getting disabled and vice versa. So you can neve
have TWO fields filled in.

I know that this can be done with JavaScript, but I don't know ho
exactly.

Could anybody help me with this please?

Thanks in regard,

Daa

<form>

<input name="beta" onchange="this.form.alpha.disabled=this.value.leng th>0">
</form>

In article <bu*********@drn.newsguy.com>, RE**************@cox.net
enlightened us with...

<form>
<input name="alpha" onchange="this.form.beta.disabled=this.value.lengt h>0">
<input name="beta" onchange="this.form.alpha.disabled=this.value.leng th>0">
</form>

Note that disabled fields will NOT submit.
I found that out the hard way. :)

i did'nt ask te question that I really needed to know: It's no us
ofcourse, to disable the opposite field of the one that's filled in.
meant the following code (that I found out myself, but thanks anywa
;-))

<form>
<input name="alpha" onclick="this.form.beta.value=''">
<input name="beta" onclick="this.form.alpha.value=''">
</form>

Supersimple, but very usefull to me, because otherwise my MySQ
database would search for BOTH inputs, wich does'nt result in th
records I need.

excuse me for my bad English, again.

Greets,

Daa
