Hi,
There is a fair bit in the forum about this topic, but bet option is for 6.1.
I am using 5.3 build 7474. Is there an equivalent work around for:
var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'textarea');

ctrl.makeReadonly();
I need a user to be able to read a text area without editing/deleting?
I will be upgrading at some point but time is of the essence on this particular project and its not that easy to merge the projects....
Thanks

Jquery solution:

$('textarea').attr('readonly','readonly');

What is the name of the field? Is it a textarea or a text input?
T

the field is called incident_details and is a text area....

$('textarea').attr('readonly','readonly');


Are you adding the code to the right event?

$('textarea').attr('readonly','readonly');


Are you adding the code to the right event?


yes Javscript Onload Event on the Edit page.
The idea will be to restrict the text area to a read only based on a group......
$("value_incidentdetails" + pageid).attr('readonly','readonly');

Still unable to resolve.
I also have the much documented time picker issue, which in spite of upgrade fails to work.
Long shot, but could these be linked?

The following jquery code works fine for me:

$('textarea').attr('readonly','readonly');
