Enable button when checkbox checked 1

fischadler · Nov 18, 2003

I need to have a checkbox that is unchecked by default. I also have form submit button that I need to be disabled when the form is loaded. How can I have the button enabled as soon as the checkbox is ticked?

Thanks

Here is an example using IE

<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>
function test(theField)
{
if(theField.checked)
{
document.getElementById("btnSubmit&quot

.disabled=false

}else
{
document.getElementById("btnSubmit&quot

.disabled=true
}

}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type=checkbox name="mycheck" onclick="test(this)">
<input type=submit disabled=true name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for the information. The code works but there is a slight problem. If I hit the back button to go back the the page of the submit button, the checkbox is still checked but the button is disabled. If I uncheck the checkbox and re check it again, then the submit button becomes enabled. Is there a way to have the submit button still enabled when the user goes back to the submit site?(this is only needed when some fields are filled incorrectly but it happens occasionally.)
