How to disable or enable multipe form elements?
The example shows how to change the status of several form elements from another form element.<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function DisableText()
{
var count = document.forms[0].elements.length;
for (i=0; i<count; i++)
{
var element = document.forms[0].elements[i];
if (document.form1.check1.checked == true)
{
if (element.type == "text")
{ element.disabled=true; }
}
else
{ element.disabled=false; }
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<input type="checkbox" name="check1" onClick="DisableText()"/>
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" value="Type some text">
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text2" value="Type some text">
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text3" value="Type some text">
</form>
</body>
</html>The function checks if the checkbox control is checked or not. If it is, it iterates through all the controls of the form and disables the ones of type text ie. all textboxes.
