Question

Making a single checkbox readonly

Forms Version 10 Web Customizations

I have attempted to put the readonly attribute for a single checkbox. I inspect the element and I can see the attribute readonly=readonly although you are still able to interact with the checkbox. Is there anyway to make a single selection readonly? The reason for this is that a default value is needed to be shown but not removable.

I don't know if its actually possible to make only one selection read only but you could always re-check the box if it is changed. Essentially making it read only.

Here the first check box ( Item 0 ) will be checked and not rechecked any time any checkbox is updated.

$(document).ready (function () {
	document.getElementById('Field7-0').checked = true;
  
	$('#q7').change(function(){
		document.getElementById('Field7-0').checked = true;
	})

});

This works great. Although not read only it forces the input. Thanks!

Hi!

I am no good at Java, but if this is in forms, why not make the checkbox read only that way?

Hope I gave you an idea!
