Using Javascript to disable a check box

Friends,
I am stuck on what should be a simple requirement and I am hoping you can help.
I need to disable a form region checkbox if a field on the same form region has anything entered.
What I have done so far is:
1) On the item that determines whether the check box should be disabled I have added a call to my Javascript function "onChange="disableDefaultDisplay();" in the "HTML Form Element Attributes"
2) My javascript funcion is: (this is the basic version, all I am trying to do is disable the check box at this point)
function disableDefaultDisplay()
alert("Start of the function");
var defaultDisplay = document.getElementById("P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY");
*defaultDisplay.enabled = false;*
alert("End of the function");
Using a combination of firebug and the alert messages I can see that function is called at the correct time (i.e. when the user changes and then leaves the field) and that the values of the variable, defaultDate are set but my attempts to disable the checkbox have yet to work!
When I look at the type of the checkbox (through the source of the page or firebug) I see the checkbox has the following "fieldset#P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY.checkbox_group" Do I need to do anything different to disable this type of object?
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi Andy,
I was returning to this thread to update it with how I resolved it, so thanks for the detailed response.
In a nutshell, the solution I used was a loop through the field set(of which there is only one item in it) and disabling it.
Where you say:
Secondly, checkboxes are, as you have seen, wrapped within a fieldset tag. The fieldset tag has an ID of the page item name. Each checkbox within that tag has its own ID value, which will be the fieldset ID plus "_n" (where n is a sequential number starting from 0) - thus, the first checkbox will be, for example, "P1_CHECKBOX_0", the second will be "P1_CHECKBOX_1" and so on.From my searching for a solution I had expected to see something like that. But the source for the item I was trying to disable is shown below and I can't see any numbers after it.
Do you know why? Is it because it is the only item?
<fieldset id="P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY" class="checkbox_group">
<input type="checkbox" name="p_v18" value="Y" id="P13_DEFAULT_DISPLAY" /></fieldset>

Ian

Preventing disabling of check box - item okay in MIGO

Dear all,
In the MIGO transaction - during goods receipt for subcontractor material, when the item (incoming) is checked as item okay - automatically the child material (Material sent to subcontractor) is also activated thereby to enable 543 movement.
Unfortunately some of the users are disabling the check box (for the material sent to the subcontractor). This prevents depletion of stock from the subcontractor but inflates the stock of the incoming material.
Is there any way - either by authorisation check to prevent users disabling the check box or other methods?
Experts suggestion is required in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
M.M

Hi Magesh,
it is possible. use Badi enhancement
MB_MIGO_BADI goto
IF_EX_MB_MIGO_BADI~POST_DOCUMENT
tell your abaper to put the logic like
parent ID and subcomponent ID need to select
if either of two is not selected
then error message will prompt not to save the GR doc since subcomponent is unselected.
reference field EKPO check PSTYP
hope this help you.

Using Javascript to disable field "Planned"

Hi every one,
I want to use javascript to disable "Planned" checkbox in Project Server 2013 because we want that user can not see this planned time and be confused with the Project Server's automatic changes for the planned time.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("Ribbon.ContextualTabs.MyWork.Home.ShowHide.PlannedWork-Medium-checkbox").checked = false;
</script>
I found this code in this subject :
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/0beeed2d-bebc-4217-981a-41b1252c7cc2/disable-field-planned-in-timesheet?forum=projectserver2010general
But I don't understand where to use it. If i create a custom webpart with this code, I've got a null exception when the page is loading.
So, can you help me ? Maybe I need to use it in an other file ?

Hi Patmol6,
Basically, to add javascript to a PDP (or timesheet page for instance),
edit the page
add the content editor webpart
set it as hidden
copy paste the code
Note that you can also point from the content editor webpart to a js file embedding the javascript code
Here are few examples (some are in PS2007, but the process is similar):

Disable individual check boxes in ALV

Hi all,
My requirement is that I have one check box against each row. User clicks on the check box then that row is selected and on clicking the push button, bapi is called.
If result of bapi is success, I want to disable the check box for that particular row/rows. Can you please tell me how I can achieve that? I know how to disbale all the check boxes in the list but I dont know how to disable the individual check boxes.
Thanks and regards,
Ridhima

For that you need to play with the EDITABLE feature of the ALV at the field level.
Declare a field STYLE type LVC_T_STYL as a part of your internal table. Now, for each row, append the fields of that row to the STYLE column specifying whether it has to be editable or not. You can use the attributes cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled and cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled for this.
You can look at these threads

How to disable one check box when another is checked

Hi, I'm a first time user.
i am trying to make text fields appar and dissapaer when check boxes are ticked. but only alow one check box to be active at one time.
I am making a simple form in Acrobat pro 9,
I have two check boxes Checkbox1 & Checkbox2.
I have two text fields Textfield1 & Textfield2
i have added actions to checkbox1 & checkbox2 to 'hide or show' the text fields.
Action --> on focus (checkbox1) show/hide field (textfield1) is hide
Action --> on focus (checkbox1) show/hide field (textfield2) is show
oposite
Action --> on focus (checkbox2) show/hide field (textfield2) is hide
Action --> on focus (checkbox2) show/hide field (textfield1) is show
problem 1 - how to disable checkbox1 when checkbox 2 is ticked.
or disable checkbox2 when checkbox1 is ticked.
my other problem is that this action has the same effect for ticking or unticking the checkbox.
thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
can you please write your answer in simple terms. Basically this is the first time i have used acrobat pro so please dont assume any knowledge at all. thansk very much .

First, I would experiment with just check boxes and learn their properties and how they can interact.
Have you tried using the same name for 2 check boxes and assign a different "export value" to each check box.
Have you looked at the values a check box or boxes have when checked or un-checked?
Have you looked at how the various actions for a field work?

How tdo you disable a check box

Hi
I'm been trying to dynamically disable (grey out) a check box using
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('checkbox name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
This is not working and when I display the value of ENABLED using GET_ITEM_PROPERTY it shows TRUE.
Can anyone tell me how to dynamically grey out a check box?

Dear Friend,
Whatever u have written is perfectly all right. Only thing can be checked is, do you have 2 items with same name if 2 different blocks. if so then provide name of block in Set_item_property statement. This technique works.

Disable the check box

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which based on the profile option user should be able to change the value of check box.
Name of profile option is acces_level. In this user level profile option two values are possible 'User' or 'Administrator' and there are two check boxes cb1 and cb2. I want that cb2 should be available only to the user, those have value of profile option as 'Administrator'. cb1 will be available for all.
Thanks in advance.
Looking forward onn this.

I used now
declare
nProp varchar2(20);
BEGIN
nProp := fnd_profile.value('ACCESS_FOR_WISPER_PART_RESEND');
if nProp = 'ADMINISTRATOR' then
set_item_property('XXINFC_WISPER_PARTS_MASTER.INSPECTION_FLAG', enabled, 'property_true');
else
set_item_property('XXINFC_WISPER_PARTS_MASTER.INSPECTION_FLAG', enabled, 'property_false');
end if;
END;
I am writing this in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger at data block level.
Now there is only one problem. In the form I am displaying 15 values. All 15 values have there respective check boxes. Now except first check box all other check boxes are disabled. Do you have any clue why the first cbox is not disabled. There is one more thing when profile option is set with value USER (Now it should allow to update the check box) then If I change any cbox then it does not allow me to change any other check box.
Looking forward for you reply.

Can't use LOV with item type "check box" in form

I have created a LOV that I want to use with a form application in 3.0.9. I need to be able to do multiple choices in this LOV (check box style) in the same query (only queries - users won't be able to update this field)
When I choose Check box as the item type in the form wizard I am not able to choose the LOV. I have to use combo box, popup or radio group for the LOV choices to appear, but then the query can only query for one value in the LOV at a time.
Is there a solution to this?

Hi,
This feature is not supported as of now. You cannot have multi select LOV for a form field and hence a checkbox cannot have a LOV.
Thanks,
Sharmila

There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

Use Javascript to disable fields in tabular form built by wizard

i know this type of disable question has been asked before and i have searched the forum thoroughly but the solutions always seem to be for items i.e P1_NAME and i do not have these as my form is built by a select statement
i have worked out the syntax (i think)
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function desactiverElement(item)
var x = document.getElementById(item);
if (x)
x.disabled = true;
</script>
to disable and think it goes in the html header or a html region before footer but i cannot work out how to disable the field because i cannot work out how to reference them
i.e get the value for 'item' in the code
any help i would be extremely grateful for
cheers Chris

the CENTRE_NO field has to be unique , and when i am doing my validation check ,if the user amends the field by accident and then replaces the value it gets an error when it shouldn't
wish it was as simple as forms just change property to update_allowed = false !!
