disabling a text box based on a menu choice..

[fgeorge]

i have a menu and a text box on the same page, in the same form, the menu before the text box..

i want to create a situation whereby, when i choose a certain option in the menu, the text box is disabled and cannot receive focus..

the text box will only be enabled when i select the other options..
thanks

In the select tag, add:

onChange=disableText(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);

In your script section, add:

function disableText(val)
{
 var valOfInterest = "HMO"; //for example
 if(val == valOfInterest)
  textBox.disabled = true;
 else
  textBox.disabled = false;
}

Is that what you're after?

Hi,

Dont know whether this would be any help but I asked the opposite of your question. I wanted a combo box to appear only if the user selected a particular option.

thread216-617017 I would let you know to see if the code would help
