A few questions regarding creating

A few questions regarding creating web pages in Dreamweaver 4.0

1. What is the difference between the readonly and disabled properties for input fields?

2. Is there any easy way to disable (or make readonly) all objects in a HTML page (or within a form on a page) without having to manually add the 'disabled' property to all objects on the page?

3. On more than one occasion I have wanted to split a table into 2 separate tables. Apart from physically creating the new table, then transferring all cell contents from the original table to the new table, is there any easy way to do this? If not, I think I'll put this on the wish-list for the next upgrade?

Many thanks,
Alan Harris-Reid

Hello Alan!

1) Both attributes don't give access to form elements. Readonly - doesn't let a user change the value of the object. However you can change the value using script (JavaScript for example). Disabled - doesn't let to change the value of the object neither for user nor for script.
Unfortunately, these attributes don't work in NS 4.7 and older versions, may be it works in NS 6.0 (i haven't tried yet). So probably you'll need some script for NS, here the link you may see some: faq216-795

2) I honestly don't know the way how to do this. I think it's impossible...

3) Don't really understand what you need :-((
Good Luck!
