Hello I'm unfamiliar with JS and I need to find a way to disable a form I've created once a condition is met. Essentially, I will pull data from a database and bases on that data the page will be editable or read only. I know how the pull the information, but don't know how to disable the page using Java Script. Here is my code:
javascript:%20x()

<html:form action="/SpecifyProjectRank.do">
<input type="hidden" name="allAppByUser" value="<bean:write name="sessionUser" property="username"/>" />
<html:hidden property="projectCode"/>
<html:hidden property="allocationID"/>
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td id="projectHeader" height="20%">
<h1 style="font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;height:20px;margin:0;padding:0">Allocation</h1>
<table width="100%" class="main">

javascript:%20x()

Thank you for your replies. I understand what needs to be done the question is how to go about doing it.

The '$' character is being appended to the value in a database script the '$' character is only for display purposes and I need to remove it before I submit the data to the database.

Hello,

I�m trying to remove a character �$� from my jsp form before its submitted to the database since the database doesn�t accept �$�. I�ve been reading about the replace function but I�m unsure how to implement it. Does anyone know how to implement the replace function in JSP? Here is a snippet of my code:
javascript:%20x()
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="left"><b>Estimated Total Partner Funds::</b>
<br><html:text property="estTotalFunds" styleClass="required" />
</td>
</tr>
javascript:%20x()

The property=estTotalFunds is the variable that contains the values. Essentially, the value comes in $22.00 and I need it to be 22.00 before I submit it to the database.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
