Disabling form elements
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function setState()
{
var maga=document.subscription.mag.value;
if(maga=="online" || maga=="free_online")
{
document.subscription.username.disabled=false;
document.subscription.password.disabled=false;
document.subscription.password2.disabled=false;
}
else
{
document.subscription.username.disabled=true;
document.subscription.password.disabled=true;
document.subscription.password2.disabled=true;
}
}
setState();
-->
</script>
It works but only when I run it as an onChange state for example. The setState() you see there is never run, why? Basically I need to disable or enable the username and password fields when a drop down with 4 options contains a certain state (online or both = enabled, free or none = disabled).
This is fine when someone changes the drop down because I have an onChange, but I need it to alter the state when the form is run. I've tried:
<form onOnload="setState();">
but that didn't work. I am unable to use the:
<body onLoad="setState();"
because that tag is contained within my header file and this function only needs to be available on one page which imports the header.
