How do you disable a checkbox if the value in the database is = to r or a or d. Im using access and .asp

Report · Sep 27, 2006

If using XHTML -

<input name="foo" type="checkbox" value="whatever" <% if(value='r' or
value='d' or value='a') then response.write('disabled="disabled") %> />

If using HTML, change "/>" to ">".

Yes - my mistake -

<input name="foo" type="checkbox" value="whatever" <% if(value='r') or
if(value='d') or if(value='a') then response.write('disabled="disabled") %>
/>

Thanks for your reply. I am getting a different error now this is the error I get now. I have attached my code at the bottom.
Microsoft JScript compilation error '800a03ec'

Expected ';'

/systems/lvcc/January/January.asp, line 205

if(value='d') or if(value='a') then response.write('disabled="disabled"')
-----------------^

<input name="1st" type="checkbox" value="R" <% if(value='r') or
if(value='d') or if(value='a') then response.write('disabled="disabled")%>
/>

Wait a minute - I thought you were testing a value from a database? But it
appears that you are wanting that field to be disabled when its value is
"R"?

How is the field being written to the page?

Im sorry let me explain this a little better. The page is to request leave. I am using an update record method. origionaly all boxes will be blank when they request leave. when they hit submit it inputs a r into the database. We go into the database and change the r's to a's or d's based on if it is approved. If they want to request additional leave. they pull up the same page. I wanted it to prevent employees from checking or unchecking a box that they have already been approved or denied for. I am trying to keep each employee to only one record since the insert record make duplicates and is hard to sort through. I hope that helps. Thanks again for your help. I am very gratful. .
