How can I highlight or shade readOnly textFields?

[jelf234]

Hello Experts.

Currently I have a form with a dropdown list and several textFields.  I have some of the textFields becoming readOnly when a certain value is chosen in the dropdown list.  I would also like these textFields to become highlighted or shaded (either is fine).  I'm currently using the following:

if(xfa.event.newText=="string1")

{textField1.access="readOnly"}

{textField2.access="readOnly"}

I would also like textField1 and textField2 to become shaded if "string1" is chosen from the dropdown list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

textfield1.fillcolor = "0,0,0"

Also make sure that the highlight fields at the top right of the Acrobat/Reader display is turned off.
