Hello everyone,
I have a field that is disabled when the page loads but i want to enabled the field when the user checks the check box this is the code but it's not working, no error in firebug



var ctrlPadre = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'clergy');

ctrlPadre.setDisabled();
var ctrlCura = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'padre');
ctrlCura.on('change', function(e){

if (this.getValue() == 'on'){

ctrlPadre.setEnabled();

}

else{

ctrlPadre.setDisabled();

}
});


thanks for your help

The code looks correct. Are you sure you are not inverting the field name? Try to run the following code:

var ctrlPadre = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'padre');

ctrlPadre.setDisabled();
var ctrlCura = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'clergy');
ctrlCura.on('change', function(e){

if (this.getValue() == 'on'){

ctrlPadre.setEnabled();

}

else{

ctrlPadre.setDisabled();

}
});

yes I am 100% sure.. 'padre'' is the check box and 'clergy' is the text field that is disabled.
Ii tried doing this too
if(document.getElementById('value_padre_1_0').checked == true){

ctrlPadre.setEnabled();

}
but still doesn't work :/ though with this i get this on google chrome
event.layerX and event.layerY are broken and deprecated in WebKit. They will be removed from the engine in the near future

I got it to work thanks this was the problem
ctrlCura.on('change', function(e){

if (this.getValue() == 'on'){

ctrlPadre.setEnabled();

}
here I am getting the value of the checkbox not if it is actually checked so i replaced it with this
ctrlCura.on('change', function(e){

if (this.getValue() == 'yes'){

ctrlPadre.setEnabled();

}
yes = the value of the checkbox.. its working now
thanks
