disable text box.

[Bryan Tuffin]

what do I have to add to the input of a text box so it is disabled when the page opens so you can not enter text. and how do I enable it using javascript.

The following works in IE 5.


<FORM name="formx">
<p align="left">My investment is $
<input type=text size=10 value=100 name="a">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
formx.a.disabled = true;
</SCRIPT>

......


Cheers,
