In my page (jsp) i have a radiobutton group and a textbox (which is disabled initially).
Always disable it (for every radio button), then re-enable it if the radio button is the one that enables the textbox. Unless the user is on a machine built in 1980, it will be so fast, not one will ever know.
$('radio').click(function() {
$("#otherDevText").prop("disabled",true);
if($(this).attr('id') == 'enable_textbox') {
$("#otherDevText").prop("disabled",false);
}
});
Alternatively, if there are multiple radio buttons that will enable the textbox:
$('input:radio').click(function() {
$("#otherDevText").prop("disabled",true);
if($(this).hasClass('enable_tb')) {
$("#otherDevText").prop("disabled",false);
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<fieldset id="DevGroup_OTHER">
<input type="radio" id="d1" name="r1" value="d1">dev1 <br />
<input type="radio" id="d2" name="r1" value="d2">dev2 <br/>
<input type="radio" id="d3" name="r1" value="d3" class="enable_tb"> enable
</fieldset>
<br />
<input id="otherDevText" name="tb1" disabled="disabled"
value="some Textbox value" type="text">
Make sense?
$("#some_other_radiobutton").click(function(){
$("#otherDevText").attr("disabled","disabled");
});
