I don't think that by setting the access of a subform, its child elements will inherit that access. I think you'll need to write a function to loop through each object of the subform and set it to the same access. Try something like this...
function toggleContainer(container, accessVal){
// Get the number of objects in the subform.
var nObjects = container.nodes.length;
// Get the objects in the subform,
var objects = container.nodes;
// Loop through all the objects.
for (var i=0; i<nObjects; i++){
// Get the current object.
var object = objects.item(i);
// If the object is a field...
if (object.className == "field"){
// Set the access to the input.
object.access = accessVal;
}
}
}
The function inputs are container (the subform to change the access of) and accessVal (open, readOnly, etc. to be set to). I'm not sure if this is 100% correct...I just typed it out in the forum. It should be close though. You can call this function (as long as it works or gets fixed up) whenever you need to open or close a subform. I recommend using a script object to house the function, but you can put it in an object's JavaScript (like a click event or something). You also may want to be careful and use something other than the word "object". I can't remember if it's a JavaScript reserved word, which may cause issues if it is.
Hope this helps!
