On a webpage, I have a checkbox called "chkN___EFUN" that's sometimes readonly and I wanted to interrogate its value when the page is submitted.

When the check box is read only I found that referencing this object like so "document.all.chkN___EFUN(0).value" would give me a true/false.

But, when this value was not read only I would need to reference it like this "document.all.chkN___EFUN.value" or I would get the javascript error "Object does not support this method or property".

Does anyone know the best way to handle this situation I can get the value of the check box when its readonly and not readonly?

Thanks!

The property of the check box you should be looking at is checked not value. This will return true or false.

Here's a little code that might offer you some ideas....


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doDemo(form) {
var cbObj = form.cbObj;

if (cbObj.checked)
alert("Value is " + cbObj.value);
else
alert("No value will be submitted.");

if (cbObj.disabled)
cbObj.disabled = false;
else
cbObj.disabled = true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<b>Read-only Checkbox Demo</b>
<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="cbObj" value="Y" disabled>
<p>
<input type="button" value="Execute" onClick="doDemo(this.form)">
</form>
<hr>
</center>
</body>
</html>
