You don't really have to worry about it

Toggling that flag is all you really need to do. And with the onchange event of the radio buttons, it happens immediately, no refreshes needed. (Caveat: on Firefox it does, no IE to test on my home PC, but I'm fairly certain the recent ones behave decently here)

The code to disable the textboxes worked - when I tried to click in them and enter a value, it wouldn't let me. HOWEVER... The textboxes had no values in them; when the page loads all of the textboxes start with white backgrounds. After certain boxes were disabled, the white background remained. I really want to darken the background so that the user KNOWS that they can't enter something into that text box. I'll try admin's suggestion tomorrow morning. lincoln "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer".

The methods mentioned above are it but IE doesn't react until you click another button. If you set two radio buttons up as a toggle switch, you can see the text box change state and color but 180\ufffd out of phase :/
Post #247,931 by SpiceWare 3/14/06 4:34:00 PM Reply	Re: Leave it to Billy... I had 2 issues come up with my side job that work great in browsers other than IE - using images as form input buttons and using PNGs with alpha channel. I'm using PHP for this project. Each button originally had the same name, Option, and I'd do switch/case on $_POST['Option']. Turns out IE doesn't return $_POST['Option'], but it does return $_POST['Option_x'] and $_POST['Option_y'] for the x-y coordinates the user clicked on the image at. I ended up redoing the image buttons to have a name that starts with Option and check for anything staring with Option to retrieve the user's input from the _x or _y value as such: \n$UserInput = $_POST['Option'];\n if ($UserInput == "")\n {\n foreach($_POST as $key => $value)\n if (substr($key,0,6) == "Option")\n $UserInput = str_replace("_",".",substr($key,6));\n if (substr($UserInput,-2) == ".x" \|\| substr($UserInput,-2) == ".y")\n $UserInput = substr($UserInput,0,strlen($UserInput)-2);\n }\n switch($UserInput)\n {\n ....\n }\n I found [link\|http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/index.htm\|this site] with a [link\|http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/imagemap.htm\|work around] for the PNGs used as inputs in a form. Note: the str_replace is because I have a "document folder" page that shows clickable icons to view files such as VacationRequest.pdf; the periods in the filenames get changed to _ so I have to change them back before I can display the files.
