Setting disable attribute dynamically
If the disable attribute is present in a HTML tag it will be disable,
no matter what the value of the attribute is.
So if I have a s:select and I say disabled="false" it will be
disabled (renders disabled="disabled").
But if we have a text, and we set readonly="false" it will not be editable.
On my page my action determines my users access level - fullAccess
(user can edit anything) or partialAccess (user can edit certian
fields but see the other fields)
I have a text field set up like this s:textfield
readonly="%{fullAccess}". which works fine.
But s:select disabled="%{fullAccess}" does not work.
I tried this <s:select <s:if test="!fullAccess">disabled="true"</sif>
/> But the s:if tag is causing a syntax error.
The only solution I came up with was
<s:if test="!fullAccess">
<s:select disabed="true" .......
</s:if>
<s:else>
<s:select .......
</s:else>
So I have 2 s:selects and s:radios for every radio/select
I would prefer to have it like the textfields so I dont have to have 2
pieces of code for each select and radio.
I figured i could do an <if> around a <script> block at the bottom of
the page and disable them with javascript but that might be a little
confusing for future coders who have to work on this.
Can anyone think of a good way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Rich

Ha ha I was trying this and couldn;t get it to work. My mistake was
fullAccess = true, so readOnly="%{fullAccess}" was returning true, i
meant to say readOnly="%{!fullAccess}".
thanks

I have done it.. It goes like this:
(1) The Action:
public class PrepareScreen extends ActionSupport {
private String yesOrNo;
public String execute() throws Exception {
yesOrNo = "true";
return SUCCESS;
}
public String getYesOrNo() {
return yesOrNo;
}
public void setYesOrNo(String yesOrNo) {
this.yesOrNo = yesOrNo;
}
}
(2) The JSP:
Is Struts2 good?: <s:textfield name="choice" readonly="%{yesOrNo}"
value="Yes, it is.."></s:textfield>

I made a slight error
readonly="%{fullAccess}" with s:textfield does not work but
<input type="text" name="description" id="description" <s:if
test="!fullAccess">readonly="true"</s:if> />
works.
