read only

[murrjames]

I have a read only field, I want to turn off the read only with a checkbox, or if a field is populated.

Ideas?

Thanks

What do you mean by "or if a field is populated"?

[murrjames]

Meaning, If I enter text into a text box, another text box has read only turned off.

Which one is it, then? What a check-box is ticked, or when another text field has a value in it?

[murrjames]

Text field, I figure I can modify it if I use a checkbox, I may use both, form is still being designed.

Well, it requires a different approach if you want to do it with a text field, a check-box, or a combination of the two, so please decide and let us know how you want it to work.

Thank you. A text box please.

As the custom validation script of that text field enter the following code:

this.getField("Name of field").readonly = (event.value!="");
