I have created a form that allows for the user to enter in information on a customer and add fields as they are needed for the day. I also added on a "Lock All Fields" button so that at the end of the day, no changes can be made to the form. My problem is that when they click the button and save, the fields are locked, but when you re-open the form, the fields are all unlocked and editable again. It saves all the data entered, it just doesn't permanently lock the form. Does anyone know of a way to lock the fields permanently?
The script I use is:
form1.#variables[0].myScriptObject - (JavaScript, client)
/*************************************************************************************
Function: LockAllFields
Description: This function will lock all fields.
IN: The parent subform. It could also be an element that contains subform like form1
OUT : nothing
**************************************************************************************/
function LockAllFields(myParentObject){
var allChildElements;
var intNumElements;
var currentElement;
var j;
//Get all the child nodes of the parent element
allChildElements = myParentObject.nodes;
//Total number of element in the object
intNumElements = allChildElements.length;
//Loop through all the child elements
for(j=0; j< intNumElements;j++){
currentElement = allChildElements.item(j);
//If the element is another subform we'll recusively call the function again
if(allChildElements.item(j).className == "subform"){
LockAllFields(currentElement);
}
//If the objects are fields and they are set to mandatory (validate.nullTest) then we will set the border.fill.color - dependant on object type
else if(currentElement.className == "field"){
currentElement.access = "readOnly";
}
//Check for exclusion groups - Radio Buttons
else if(currentElement.className == "exclGroup"){
for(k=0; k< currentElement.nodes.length;k++){
if(currentElement.nodes.item(k).className == "field"){
//set the color for the radio buttons individually
currentElement.access = "readOnly";
}
}
}
}
}//end function
