Is that really such a good idea? You'll drive your users absolutely insane by showing them a button that _appears_ like it should be functional but isn't. Here are a couple more things you could do that might be better: 1. Create an image button that will generate the HTML for the enabled button. Customize the onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent for the field so that, based on the business logic, it sets the HTML to that for an image of a disabled button. That way, it looks like a button but isn't. 2. Depending on your target browser requirements, customize the display field to use HTML 4 standards. HTML 4 includes the BUTTON tag that looks something like this: <BUTTON type="submit" name="Type" value="infoOnly">Find Info</BUTTON> <BUTTON type="submit" name="Type" value="infoOnly" DISABLED>Find Info</BUTTON> It also allows you to set a DISABLED attribute for the INPUT tag so it looks like: <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="Type" value="infoOnly" DISABLED> Unfortunately, only IE 4 and above handle this at this point, but it's definitely cool. -- Grace ----- Original Message ----- From: Mathew, Aby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'LadyNaureen' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 25, 1999 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [ND] Visual Components -- How to create a shortcut key & How to disable a button without Script? > Hi, > > I remember seeing somebody else also wanting to Diable a button rather than > getting rid of the button altogether. > > In the Internet applications world we survive with all kinds of tricks.
