disabling the form elements

59 New Member
Hi all,

I have an issue here.
There is a link "My plan" in the php page1. On clicking this link directs to a form which has some entries that has to be filled by the user.And once the user fills the form and clicks the submit button the entries will be stored in the database.

What I need is, when the user fills the form and submits the form once all the form elements should be disabled. If the user again clicks the "My plan" link, the form elements should be disabled. I know that this can be done by recognizing the user_id, since this will be unique. But how exactly can I do this. Here is the code I am using,

test1.php
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <body>
  2. <?php 
  3. $userid="45367";
  4. echo "<a href='test2.php?userid=$userid'>My plan</a>";
  5. ?>
  6. </body>
  7. </html>
test2.php
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <body>
  3. <?php
  4. $userid = $_GET['userid'];
  5. ?>
  6. <form name="form1" action="test3.php" method="post">
  7. Name : <input type="textbox" name="name">
  8. Age : <input type="textbox" name="age">
  9. Sex : <input type="checkbox" name="sex">
  10. <input type="submit" value="GO">
  11. </form>
  12. </body>
  13. </html>
Please help

WIth regards

It is not really clear to me what you want to do here. Your test2.php is going to invoke the script test3.php and your user will then see whatever test3.php sends back to the browser as a response. If you want to echo the values that the user has inputted with test2.php, you can do it simply using other kinds of html tags rather than input tags. Or you could show them as the exact same input tags, but specify in the response of test3.php that these inputs are disabled, by adding the "disabled" keyword:

<input type="text" name="fieldname " value="fieldval ue" disabled />

You also might want test2.php to actually invoke test2.php again, with scripting to either show the input fields again to the user in the event the user did not enter something correctly, or if the fields were entered correctly, to perform the next step and show the user whatever test3.php would have shown.

What si the best and MOST BROWSERCOMPATIBLE way of making elements disabled for the user? Also considering different kind of elements: textfields, selects, radiobuttons and textareas. This is what I have had, its quite okay in IE but not good enough for Netscape. - I remember there was problem with setAttribute(wich would looked natural pair to removeAttribute) so I used disabled = "disabled" instead. function bluron(form,ele)

I would like to disable the auto-populating feature (remembers form element text between post-backs) when creating a .NET form. I have succeeded in disabling auto-populate by creating my controls during PreRender, but that becomes highly cumbersome. Is there a way to explicitly turn off auto-populate? I'm pretty sure the form isn't getting auto-populated by the ViewState mechanism, because I've specifically set EnableViewState to...

I have a webpage with a form. Depending on user selections at the top of the page, the page will disable sections of the form. My plan is to put each section between a <div></div>. Each section contains some collection of form elements. So if the user does not select some criteria, the related section of the form gets disabled. In a typical Windows type of application these elements get disabled and greyed out. What's the best way to do...

Hi- I'm wanting to have a set of radio buttons disabled when a form is displayed, then if they check another specific radio button, those would become enabled. I've tried setting it via window.document.formname.radiogroup.disabled="true"; (or false) - but that doesn't seem to work. I've seen this done with text boxes, but not with radio buttons. Can anyone give any help? Thanks

I have a function which passes text from txtdebt to debtsbox which works fine. However, I want to add code which examines the value of debtsbox and if any of the values the user entered contain the string "d" then I want to emable rblDebts which is disabled when the page loads. This part is not working (no errors) and I'm not sure why. Thanks. <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin oldvalue = "";
