Dynamically making ListBox Readonly

[MillsRJ]

I have a list of users that have accesslevel of 1,2 or 3

Level 1 users should not be able to change the contents of a listbox, level 2 and 3 should

here's what I've got

<% if session(&quot;AccessLevel&quot=1 then
enablelist = &quot;False&quot;
else
enablelist = &quot;True&quot;
end if

%>

<select name=&quot;select&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; READONLY = <%= enablelist %>>
</select>

I don't want to use DISABLE because I need to pass the value to the next list box (and the next page eventually)

any help is appreciated.

thanks

<select name=&quot;select&quot; size=&quot;1&quot; <%IF enablelist = FALSE then%>READONLY<%End If%>> Should do it.

thanks, I'll try it out, though I've since read that READONLY won't work so I'll have to use Disabled

well, READONLY will work in most cases but, READONLY will not pass the form object when submit'd. That is the reasoning for the DISABLED attribute. basically I've never found a valid use of READONLY. if you don't want it to be used in any way then you should get a graphics bit and make a image of the thing you don't want to use.

I completely said that backwards

DISABLED does not submit the value READONLY does

True. But you get the idea.
