[SOLVED] How to Inhibit entry to Calendar Textbox...

How can the entry, directly in to the Calendar Textbox, be inhibited without being “grayed out”. I know that I can “disable” it. But, that also grays it out. My users want to see the value in that text box in its full intensity, not grayed out.

Preferred suggestion would be something like “document.getElementById("cal_FrmDt").style.display = 'block';”. But, as you can imagine, that does not work.

Thanks in advance,
Doug

You can override events generated by the text box. I believe the event you should search on is "focus" ... no pun intended. When the object gets focus, then set the focus to a different object.

I have onlt recently done this for some text entry boxes, so I can "Turn them on or off" without having that grey look.

I used this to stop entry:
onclick="return false ;"


And this to control entry:
onclick=" if ({test condition}) return false ;"

Thanks guys,

I'll check these out.

I know you can also set the style to block on a "normal" / stand alone text box. But, I cannot get that to work on text box associated with the calendar control.

Like I said, I'll check out these options...

Thanks...

In maintain I use the readonly attribute for the calendar textbox. I assume the same will apply for HTML composer.

Unfortunatly: No, it's not the same in the HTML Composer (text edit as well).

I was hoping to use the following: "document.getElementById("cal_FrmDt").style.display = 'block';” (retrieved from a JavaScript Forum)

Because "document.getElementById("cal_FrmDt").disabled = true;" works to the point of disabling it,
and "document.getElementById("cal_FrmDt").style.color = "red";" works to change the color (to red for testing only). Frowner

The display property is used to hide or show a page element - it will not "block" the user from typing in in it. See http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_display.asp

You should try the suggestions made previously.

Unfortunately I can't! I created an HTML page and added a calendar control. When I run it, I get a text box but no calendar icon. This is straight HTML Composer - no coding - one form, one control (no parameter so that may be the culprit).

I better check for hot fixes.

That's the confusing factor: "document.getElementById("cal_FrmDt").style.color = "red";" works by addressing ONLY THE TEXT PBOX of the Calendar. "disable" works well also. but not the "block".

I tried the others and they don't seem to work wither.

I'll do a "calendar only" html file in the composer and pass it on.

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks Guys,

And the winner is: Waz. Big Grin For the language=javascript onkeydown=" return false;". (Thanks for your patience as well, I neglected the "language=javascript.)

Thanks (Francis and Wep5622) for the clarification of "block" isn't meant to block anything. I guess I just wanted something "That Simple and Intuitive". But, not as intuitive as I’d like (imho), Waz's suggestion did the trick.

Unfortunately, there's a caveat to all of this.

The (onkeydown=" return false;") interferes with my validation of the two dates (from and to). So, at least for now, I'm placing a transparent gif over them to prevent access to them... It's really a work-around, but, acceptable for now seeing that we need to get this in to production ASAP.

Still Smilering...

You can add javascript validation before the return.

onkeydown="validate();return false;"


You can also change this to be more dynamic, and have the validate return a tru or false.

onkeydown="validate();"

.
.
.

function validate() {
tests and checks

if (testedOK) return false;
else return true ;
}
