Cheers for the info barry. What i was after was x amount of form fields to
be passed to the function, so after a little head scratching i wrote this
and it works!
<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
//ENABLE FORM ELEMENTS
function turnmeon() {
// ARRAY OF ARGUMENT VALUES
var argv = turnmeon.arguments;
// THE NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS PASSED TO THIS FUNCTION
var argc = argv.length;
// LOOP THROUGH THE ARGUMENTS (0 THROUGH N-1)
for (var i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
// WRITE OUT THE ARGUMENT VALUES
document.getElementById(argv[i]).disabled = false;
}
}
//DISABLE FORM ELEMENTS
function turnmeoff() {
// ARRAY OF ARGUMENT VALUES
var argv = turnmeoff.arguments;
// THE NUMBER OF ARGUMENTS PASSED TO THIS FUNCTION
var argc = argv.length;
// LOOP THROUGH THE ARGUMENTS (0 THROUGH N-1)
for (var i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
// WRITE OUT THE ARGUMENT VALUES
document.getElementById(argv[i]).disabled = true;
}
}
</SCRIPT>
You can pass the form elements id's to it and it will enable/disable them
