javascript functions don't work

[fifo85]

Hi,

I have just tried the following code putting the script header to execute it on the client side:
<script>
if(ParentValue == String("Y"))
{
EnableSubGroup();
}
else
{
DisableSubGroup();
}
</script>

I do not get the object expected error anymore
but the functions don't work, why is this?

----Function definition ------
<script type="text/javascript">
function EnableSubGroup()
{
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled='false';
}
function DisableSubGroup()
{
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled='true';
}
</script>

Thanks

onload=function(){
document.forms["SubForm"].elements["SubGroupDD"].disabled =
!(ParentValue == "Y")

}
This will disable SubGroup if "ParentValue" is not "Y"

you might want to try putting language="javascript" in the script tag.

That's deprecated:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html
W3C says "type" attribute is needed, but it really isn't.
