Read only Form

[vicky kumar]

Is there some way to make a form read only using struts or some other way. I don't want to keep duplicate copies, one for Read only and other editable. Any input in this direction will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try consulting:

the answer will jump right out at you.

Mark,
This is at the field level. I'm wndering if there is some way to make a form read only at the form level. This would avoid maitianing 2 copies of the form.

Can we do something in javascript. I mean, what if I iterate through all the elements of the form in javascript and disable them all.

Can any one else has a better idea ?

Cheers
Vicky

vicki,
<%
String readOnly = "";
if(formIsReadOnly){ // however you plan on checking this
readOnly = "readonly='readonly'";
}
%>
<html:text property="shtuff" <%= readOnly %> />
<html:text property="moreShtuff" <%= readOnly %> />
...
