Using disabled attribute in SelectOneMenu

[Franck Q.]

Hello,

I'm trying to disable the form SelectOneMenu with the disabled attribute, but I can't find out why it doesn't work.

Here some of the code I'm using:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{myBean.Item1}"
disabled="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.items}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

Of course, I used my bean to change the value, but since it wasn't working, I decided to set the value directly to true with no luck.

Does anyone has an idea? I'm using firefox and glassfish.

Regards

Franck

Franck , you can do it this way

jsp
-----

<h:selectOneMenu id="myselect" binding="#{pc_Borrower.mySelectOneMenu}" styleClass="selectOneMenu" />

Backing Bean
---------

   
public HtmlSelectOneMenu getMySelectOneMenu() {

if (myselect == null)
myselect = new HtmlSelectOneMenu();
 
Collection list = new ArrayList();
list.add(new SelectItem("0","--choose--"));
list.add(new SelectItem("1","option1 "));
list.add(new SelectItem("2","option2 "));
UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();        
items.setValue(list);
myselect.getChildren().add(items);
myselect.setDisabled(true);

return  myselect;
}

public void setMySelectOneMenu(HtmlSelectOneMenu selectMenu) {
myselect = selectMenu;
}

Thanks,
Rajeev.

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Franck. But please have a look at our Naming rules and change your display name. Thanks.

You can ignore that, if you're the same person as Cemre and just opened a new account. Actually, all we needed was that you edit your display name because we require a real last name and not just an initial.
