I need to create a "read-only" version of all my forms which contain multiple <input type="text"> fields. Instead of recoding each field individually, I'm looking for a more efficient solution. A suggestion was made to use the following:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="/..../permission = 'E'>
<input ....>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
...
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
While this helps in making the fields partially read-only, it still allows pasting and deleting of content. A friend also recommended using the script below:
$(function () {
<xsl:if test="/.../permission != 'E'">
$('input').keypress(function() { return false; });
</xsl:if>
});
This script prevents typing but does not stop paste or delete actions within the input fields. Any suggestions for achieving full read-only functionality would be greatly appreciated.
