can you please help me with a code for the button that if i click it, the text boxes will be enabled?

Thanks!

There is no readonly attribute in an <input type="text" field. There is disabled="disabled".

re-edit: I may be incorrect. :-(

I am indeed incorrect. Another thing learnt today.

You will need to use JavaScript - are you using any jQuery? (I prefer jQuery).

Hi paulkd!

i dont know how to use jQuery :(

You don't have to use jQ, but it certainky makes life easier if you don't know js.

You could do something like this in ordinary js, but I'm a little rusty :(

<input name="practice" type="text" value="<?php echo $practice; ?>" disabled="disabled"/>
<button id="edit">"Edit"</button>

<script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById('edit').onclick=function(){

        var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); 
        for(var k=0;k<inputs.length;k++){ 
           inputs[k].disabled = false; 
        } 

    };
</script>

JUST be aware that disabling or readonly-ing will not give you any protection against users sending malicious values. You cannot trust the data - ever.

I totally agree with diafol and have said it on another thread - never trust client side validation, always validate server side. It's so easy to manipulate forms with Firebug and/or chrome developer tools.

@mallows.yum what is the purpose of the form?

You are performing a LIKE search to return more than one record, but your form is designed for one record only.

paulkd,

i havent fixed that yet. i'll do it today. :)

diafol, i'll try your code. but how will i do that for all the textboxes? :)

Thanks

You need to add a <form> name & id to get all input tags in the form.

hi LastMitch,

so i will name my form. uhm id for every textbox is it?

Member Avatar for LastMitch

uhm id for every textbox is it?

Why an id **for every **textbox?

<input name="practice" type="text" value="<?php echo $practice; ?>" disabled="disabled"/>

You already have name which is "practice" why add an id?

This is what I meant

<form name ="anyname" id="anyid" action="#">
 <input name="practice" type="text" value="<?php echo $practice; ?>" disabled="disabled"/>
</form>
