Jack,
haven't done this myself, but, since it's version 4 browsers, you should
be able to write a onClick function to disable the input object when
user click the "OK" button,
document.form[i].elements[i].disabled = true;
or
document.formname.elementname.disabled = true;
however, according to the O'Reilly book, NN doesn't support it. :(
may want to give it a try anyway...
