RE: greying out part of a form
If you use this method (which I think is the best visually), be careful on your 'action' page. Different browsers treat the 'visibility:hidden' form elements in a different manner. In some browsers, that 'hidden' section is sent with the form. In other browsers, that section is considered 'not there' and thus those values are not sent. This will require extra attention to paraming, and the sort. Good luck, William -- William E. Seiter Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

RE: greying out part of a form
I'd use display:none; instead of visibility but in either event, I've never seen parts of a form not get posted with the rest of the form just because it was hidden via css. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Re: greying out part of a form
Toby: You can do this using the disabled property of the form elements, which can be set on page load using the disabled attribute of the form element tag or programmatically using JavaScript to set the value to true or false. Hope this helps, Brian Hi there I have a form which I am getting users to complete. Based on the result of choosing various options on the form I would like somehow to grey out sections on the form (basically so that if a user selects on option they then go on to fill the appropriate section of the form and the other area is greyed out and cant be used).

Re: greying out part of a form
instead of 'greying out' parts of form and making your users scroll up/down past these disabled elements, consider putting conditional parts of your form in a div (or some other container) and hiding/un-hiding them as needed. you can do this by changing displayand/or visibility style attributes of the container div. -- Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com ~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the What's New PDF now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:293012 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
