Yeah I'm wanting to make it where certain users can't click the checkbox. so enabled="false" is what I'm looking for.
Also though, is there a way to catch the click on the checkbox and then run a check, then if the check returns true allow the box to be clicked and if it returns false alow it not to be clicked.
