SET TEXTBOX READONLY VALUE BASED ON WHETHER ANOTHER TEXTBOX HAS A VALUE

[WayneAC]

I have a form with several textboxes that are set initially to ReadOnly. What I am looking for is how do I change the "readonly" status of TextBox 2, if data is entered in another TextBox (i.e., TextBox 1)?

I have tried the following using the action "Mouse Exit", "Run a Javascript" in TextBox 1, with no satisfaction:

if (event.target.value != "")

     {

          this.getField("TextBox 2").readonly = false;

          this.getField("TextBox 2").setFocus();

     }

else

     {

          this.getField("TextBox 2").readonly = true;

     }

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The correct way to do this is a custom validation script on "TextBox 1". Delete the MouseExit script.

if (event.value != "")
{
    this.getField("TextBox 2").readonly = false;
    this.getField("TextBox 2").setFocus();
}
else
     this.getField("TextBox 2").readonly = true;

However, your script should have worked as is.  Are any errors reported in the Console Window (press Ctrl-J)?
