Effectively Disabling a TextField Input
Hey,
I have a textfield that looks as follows:
<span class="style8" jwcid="account@TextField"
value="ognl:dataBean.account" size="40"/>
Basically, I want to disable it and force the user
to select an account from a popup search. This will
place the correct value into the textfield and update
the object. This works fine when the field is enabled,
but not when I disable it. Does anyone know how I can
disable the entry so that users cannot enter free-form
entries into it?
Thanks,
Chris

But why do i (the user) have to use your "picker" if i know what i want to
select? In either case you have to validate the user input on the server side
again, so let the user select or edit the input field as he likes.
Cheers,
Markus

Re: Effectively Disabling a TextField Input

i tried to use an Input to begin with but the
Javascript assignment didnt work since it is not a
form field. There are way too many values to be in a
form field. Users need to narrow down the search of
accounts and then select one.
The readonly tag worked. I appreciate the help.

If it is a field that is never ok for users to actually input into why even
make it a text field? Why not a combo-box or something more appropriate
sounding?

Hi,
add informal binding to your textfield either you use :
<span class="style8" jwcid="account@TextField"
value="ognl:dataBean.account" size="40" readonly="true"/>
or
<span class="style8" jwcid=account@TextField
value="ognl:dataBean.account" size="40" onKeyUp="javascript:this.value=''"/>
or you use both :p
regards,
Gunna

when disabling a text field using tapestry, the returning value is not
evaluated (afaik).
In order to perform your task, you should use javascript to disable the text
field on page-load and do the popup-search/fill-in.

Markus
