DIW and FPFieldHTML

[Mike Stumpo]

When creating the editing pages in FP2003, I would like
to have certain field non editable (like the dateentered,
or enteredby fields), but have the other fields editable.

I removed the webbot code (removing the HTML) for a field
to just:

<%=FP_Field(fp_rs,"dateentered")%>

and then add <%=FP_FieldHTML(fp_rs,"dateentered")%> in a
hidden field to carry the data to the database.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

That is one way, the other is to load the form field, and then switch to Code / HTML view and mark
the field as read only by add the word readonly

<input type="text" name="DateEntered" size="10" value="<%=fp_rs("dateentered")%>" readonly>

Sweet,

then I can just add css to the field to hide the field
border.

Thanks.

P.S. I did not know about the readonly option. What texts
can you recommend to learn more about those kinds of
options.

Mike,

If you wish to support NS 4 or other browsers "readonly" will not work. Instead use onfocus to change to another field.

<input type="text" onfocus="this.form.T2.focus();" >
