On-the-fly disabling of a valid field

[Ah...@ibi.com]

hi all,

I have a form page that have a number of required ValidField components.
Whether or not these values get populated depends on radio button check,
i.e.  Do you want enter you full name: yes|no -- if < yes > is selected, the
user will have to enter his full name in < full-name > field; otherwise,
JavaScript is disabling < full-name> field.  Now when page is rewinding
(giving the field will be disabled) I'm getting a JavaScript error due to
.focus() and .select() references to the previously disabled field.  Is
there a way to get around these JavaScript errors??

-Ahmed.

Why don't you check the disabled property before a select() or a focus()
?
The disabled property is read/write in javascript

cheers,
Tarun
