Hi Arvind,

Here is a link that might be useful, it shows how to enable and disable select box using javascript.

and this link is a great javascript resource:-

Hope that helps,

The problem with disabled is if it is referenced in the HTML regardless of value the element will be disabled. The solution I used is as follows:

function EnableDisable( toEnable, toDisable) {
document.getElementById( toEnable).disabled = true;
document.getElementById( toDisable).disabled = false;
}

or

function EnableDisable( toEnable, toDisable) {
document.getElementById( toEnable)[ 'disabled'] = true;
document.getElementById( toDisable)[ 'disabled'] = false;
}

Either one is ok.

Yes that sound like a very good solution, heck it is the entire solution.
