question about readonly property

06-08-2004

HI, all
I found the return value from obj.readOnly is always the original vaule in
HTML setting, even after doing obj.readOnly=true/false. How can I get the
real time value set by javascript?

The new value is submitted regardless of the readonly setting.
What makes you think that it isn't?
If you're submitting to the same page, you won't see the new
value in the form field.

For example ...

<TD>
<INPUT TYPE="text" id="itemdesc" READONLY class=scFieldRecList
name="page1"></TD>
<TD>
.....
itemdesc.readOnly=false;
alert(itemdesc.readOnly);
.....
I mean the alert always show "true" rather than "false".

This alerts false in Netscape 7.1 and IE 6:

<html>
<body>
<form>
<INPUT TYPE="text"
id="itemdesc"
READONLY
class=scFieldRecList
value="initial value"
name="page1">
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById("itemdesc").readOnly=false ;
document.getElementById("itemdesc").value="new value";
alert(document.getElementById("itemdesc").readOnly );
</script>
</body>
</html>

Thank's Lee
Yes, it should be exactly as what you show on your sample. I ve got to
check my program. My example is just a short cut from my real one. Thank you
very much!
