Hi All:

My client has asked for a bit of odd functionality that I hope you can help.

I have a form that collects students' curriculum information for a society. The curriculum form can have two entry points. The student may first register personal information using the registration form and then continue straight on to the curriculum form. In this case, I am passing some information (such as name and student id) from the registration form to the curriculum form using URL parameters (as per 162-how-do-i-pass-a-parameter-through-the-url-and-how-can-i-catch-it-.html) and displaying it.

The other way that a student can arrive at the curriculum form is from the main menu.

Here's my problem. If the student arrives at the curriculum form from the registration form, the passed parameters are displayed as read only on the form (i.e., the student can't update the information). However, if the student arrives from the main menu, there is no parameter information and the fields should be accessible to allow the student to enter their name, etc.

As I mentioned, I can read the parameters as per the above instructions. However, is there any way that I can code it so that if I have a parameter, the corresponding field is turned to read only?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Were you able to figure this out...
I need the same thing...

Thanks

Hello,

You can simply add something like this in the Additional Attributes area of the field in question;

readonly="readonly"
