Hello, help me please.

We have an electronic form with several pages and the same is populated by several people, I would like you to lock the fields on each page or select the desired field with a JS on a button.

I know the JS that locks every form.
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) { var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)); if (f==null) continue; f.readonly = true; }

I know the JS that locks every form.

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {

var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));

if (f==null) continue;

f.readonly = true;

}

Att,

If you want to lock just the fields on the first page, for example, change this line:

f.readonly = true;

To:

if (f.page==0) f.readonly = true;

Thank you.

I'm using script like this.

var w = this.getField("buttonX");

w.display = display.hidden;

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {

var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));

if (f==null) continue;

if (f.page==0) f.readonly = true;

}

I wish I had an alert with to confirm the operation.

Yes or no ?
