Enabling/Disabling buttons in JSP

[vikas bala]

Hi,
Is ther any ways to enable/disable buttons in JSP, based on the value what i select in the combobox ??
i.e) If i select the value "Yes" in the combobox, corresponding buttons
should be enabled and
If i select the value "No" in the combobox, corresponding buttons
should be disabled.
I'm using Struts framework for my application.

Suggestions are welcome.

thanks
Vikas

The best way to do this is with JavaScript. By specifying the "onchange" event in your <html:select> tag, you can cause the execution of a function that will disapble or enable buttons on your form. If you don't know enough about JavaScript to do this, I'd suggest spending some time with JavaScript tutorials before attempting it.

Thanks Merrill.

I tried to do this is with JavaScript.
By specifying the "onchange" event in the <html:select> tag,

However, I'm using <html:button> and I see its not enabling/disabling dynamically based on the combobox value.

This is probably due to an error in your JavaScript code. Please show us the code.

Hint: If you specify styleid="button1" for an html:button, you can then use the statement:

document.getElementById("button1").disabled = true;

to disable the button.
