Disable/Enable Save button

[markster]

I would like to open a data entry form with the Save button displayed but disabled. Then once specific conditions are met, based on user data entry, I would like to enable the Save button.  Is there a simple way to do this?

Regards,

Mark

I don't think there's a really simple way to do this. I've made a note for a future build.

Hi Mark,

at the end of the FormGenerate routine;

p_web.jQuery('#' & clip(loc:formname) ,'ntform','"disableSave"')

then when the conditions are met (presumably in the server side code of one or more fields)

p_web.jQuery('#' & clip(loc:formname) ,'ntform','"enableSave"')

will this method work on older builds?

[Bruce]

yes, these methods are used by the File Uploader so I think this goes back a fair ways.

Bruce and Kevin,

     I just tried this and I lose all tabs on the form in question.  Still experimenting.

check the FireBug console for a JavaScript error. If you had an error then you'd lose any further JavaScript - so things like the tabs and buttons would be "wrong".
