RE: How to make readonly in Select Box
Seems to me that this violates good UI design. I mean, what purpose does a Select Box have if you can't select anything. If I rememember my UI theory correctly, the selections should be displayed in a form such as static text that makes it clear that they aren't changeable. I might use a table (single column to mimic the layout of the Select) and display static text in it for the selected items. :-> -Original Message- :-> From: Srinivas Kusunam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :-> Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 10:11 AM :-> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-> Subject: Re: How to make readonly in Select Box :-> :-> :-> :-> We are achieving the same using disabled property.

Re: How to make readonly in Select Box
We are achieving the same using disabled property. First you need to check for the mode if it is edit then make your select box is disabled with the selected value (you might be having this already selected value in some where session.). If you need to retrieve the value in this edit mode retrieve it from the already stored value (session). otherwise as meeru suggested display it in a readonly textbox.

Use logic tags, and check if in edit mode then display the value using bean write, else display the drop down Ramachandran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:If i make it as disable means, i was not able to retrieve the value na.

Re: How to make readonly in Select Box
Hi Ramachandran: So maybe you could force the issue by using Javascript: write an onChange method to ensure the selection is always what you want it to be..? (I assume by a "read-only" drop-down you mean you want what you have selected to not be deselected by the user..?) Geeta "Slattery, Tim - BLS" wrote: > > I want to make readyonly in Select Box.

Re: How to make readonly in Select Box
As you said, there is no property called "readonly" for select box why don't you try with "disabled" of course you need to be careful when you submit the page and try to retrieve the value from disabled select box. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/20/04 09:38AM >>> Hi, I want to make readyonly in Select Box.

RE: How to make readonly in Select Box
But select has 'disabled' as an attribute (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.6) so I think you can use 'disabled' to make it read-only. -Original Message- From: Slattery, Tim - BLS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 10:39 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: How to make readonly in Select Box > I want to make readyonly in Select Box.
