how to dynamically disable a button 1

[Ovatvvon]

Hello all,

I am seeming to not be able to remember how to disable a button. Can someone enlighten me?

well, depending on how you call the code you want to call, the very basic concept is:

objectElement.disabled = disabled;

I made a mistake...

objectElement.disabled = true;

<input type="submit" onclick="this.disabled = true;" />

Ok, this is weird. I am doing something different - obviously, but not sure what it is. Either way, it works now. *Hate days like this*

you were putting that in your style attribute. style attributes can't do javascript.

onclick is an event handler. your browser knows to call the javascript inside the quotes when that action is performed on the element.

yes, on the one I provided before, but, oddly enough I had tried putting it in an onClick (and also onChange) event, and it didn't work either. So, I obviously had something else wrong as well. Either way, it works now. Thanks for your help!

actually, LFI hit the nail on the head in the HTML / CSS forum. You were trying to access a property that didn't exist, "enabled". The correct property is "disabled".
