Checkbox checked, other checkboxes become both checked & disabled

Hi,

I have three checkboxes in my form named checkbox1, checkbox2 and checkbox3.

I wish the following to happen:

If checkbox1 is checked, then:

• checkbox2 and checkbox3 also becomes checked

• but at the same time checkbox 2 and checkbox3 also become disabled (by disabled

I mean not checkable, not clickable).

I have this script that does half the job, it disables checkbox 2 and checkbox3 when checkbox1 is checked:

// set readonly property based on the value of this field compared to "Off";

this.getField("checkbox2").readonly = (event.target.value != "Off");

this.getField("checkbox3").readonly = (event.target.value != "Off");

Though, as described above, I want checkbox2 and checkbox3 to become both checked and disabled at the same time.

How would this script look like?

Thanks for your help!

Greatings,

Dennis (Javascript beginner)

When checkbox1 is unchecked, should they also be automatically unchecked?

Yes that is correct.

When checkbox1 is unchecked, they should automatically become unchecked.

Then use this code:

this.getField("checkbox2").tickThisBox(0, (event.target.value != "Off"));

this.getField("checkbox3").tickThisBox(0, (event.target.value != "Off"));
