Disable a BUTTON!

**monie** · Aug 25th, 2004, 10:14 PM

I have one page that will display all the data inside my database. at each data there will be an update link that can update the selected data!

I want to make button that can be hide or shown depending the value of the textbox inside my update form!

If the text box (txtBox1) contain no value,
then display the button else, hide it!

anyone can help me

use this function on the page_load event.

VB Code:

function set_state(){
if txtbox1 == ""{
button1.disabled = true
}else{
button1.disabled = false
}
}

if theres more than 1 button you'll need to put this in a loop as well

yes, i have 2 textbox, so how does the code look like if i want to add the AND function in the if statement?

the logic is like this;
if textbox1 and textbox2 is empty, disable button
else display button!

where should i put the code that you gave me?

---------------------------------------------------
function set_state(){
if txtbox1 == ""{
button1.disabled = true
}else{
button1.disabled = false
}
}

this is the code page that will contain two textbox (subject,section)
and two button(update record,delete)--delete will empty the textbox value =''
this is my update page(dbUpdate.asp)
disable the two button if both the textbox contain value inside it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

<tr>
<td width="31%" height="28" align="center">
<p align="right"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">
Subject :</font></b>
</td>

<td width="69%" height="28" align="center">
<div align="left"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">
<input id="subject" name="subject" value="<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("subject").Value)%>" size="32" style="float: left"> </font></b></div>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="39%" height="28" align="center">
<p align="right"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">
Section :</font></b>
</td>
<td width="61%" height="28" align="center">
<div align="left"><b><font face="Verdana" size="2">
<input id="section" name="section" value="<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("section").Value)%>" size="32" style="float: left">
</font></b></div>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="100%" height="28" align="center" colspan="2">
<b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> </font></b>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="100%" height="28" align="center" colspan="2">
<b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
<input type="submit" value="Update Record" name="submit">

<input type="button" value="Delete Record" name="delete" a href="#" onClick="document.getElementById('subject').value =''; document.getElementById('section').value = '';">
</font></b>

</td>
</tr>

When the textbox "Subject" and "Section" are empty, contain no value, then display the "Update Record" button!
Else if the textbox "Subject" and "Section" contain a value/ data, then disable the "Update Record" and "Delete" button
and display a "BACK" button to go back to previous page!
can you show me step by step

if posible, i want to know the <HEAD> script as well, please

Code:

if (textone == "" && texttwo == "")
{
	button1.disabled = true;
}
else
{
	button1.disabled = false;
}
