$(document).ready(function() {
//Check City Value
var city_value = parseInt($(\"#city\").val());
if( city_value == 0) {
$(\"#state\").attr(\"readonly\", true)
While the readonly
property takes a boolean value, the readonly
attribute takes a string value. You should use the code that you have commented out:
$("#rate").attr("readonly", "readonly");
You can do it in pure JavaScript (or Vanilla JS) without jQuery:
Set attribute readOnly
:
document.getElementById("state").readOnly = true;
and unset:
document.getElementById("state").readOnly = false;
Equivalent to object-oriented notation is also this array-oriented notation:
document.getElementById("state")['readOnly']
It is also important that in JavaScript all the properties are case sensitive, so it is important to remember about the large O
in the readOnly
property, otherwise it will not work...
Works fine here in all major browsers I have. Here's an SSCCE:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2496443</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#toggle').click(function() {
$('#foo').attr('readonly', !$('#foo').attr('readonly'));
});
});
</script>
<style>
input[readonly] {
background: lightgray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input id="foo">
<button id="toggle">toggle readonly</button>
</body>
</html>
Toggling it turns the background gray (although not all browsers do that) and the input is uneditable (this is consistent among all webbrowsers). So your problem lies somewhere else. You're probably using a poor doctype and possibly also in combination with a poor webbrowser.
Yes, finally I've found the solution. I've used onChange function.
