How to use javascript to include struts html tag?

Question

I have a check box and a text box. I have used struts tags and

Now i need to validate that if the check box is checked, i should gray out (disable) the text box. If it is unchecked the text box shold take phone numbers.

I did lik this, i called a java script on click of check box and did a innerHtml based on wheather checkbox ix checked or not.

var status_check=document.getElementById("line1Checked").checked; if(status_check==true){ document.getElementById("line1").readonly="true"; } else{ document.getElementById("line1").readonly="false"; }

I shud make the text box readonly if the check box is selected. This is how the text box is defiened,

Please suggest..

HI DJ,

do you get an error message for your 2nd javascript snippset? Also could post a little bit more code. From these few lines it's hard to see if text will be " or undefined. Anyway if you disable the textarea take into account that the input may not be posted.

OK - now it's easier to understand - thanks. 1. make sure that use the styleId - attribute within your for the input-field. To set this input field readonly your javascript code should do:

document.getElementById("line1").setAttribute("readonly","true");

hope that helps
