How do I disable all fields on copies and sending an email using a submit button? Also hiding the buttons? How do i have the button automatically save a disabled copy with work order #?

This is what is happening. I submit. And everything is still functional in the email copy and everything in my form becomes disabled and buttons are hidden. I want everything to remain constant on my form and everything disabled sent out. Any other suggestions?


You need to:

1. Disable all fields

2. Submit the form

3. Enable all fields

This all needs to be done using a script, so the order of these steps can be controlled.

I am the one that is going to reuse the form. I need to use it on the go. I want it to email a copy of completed form with fields disabled and buttons invisible to customer.
