Site has a registration with two fields, a checkbox and a text field. After registration, the user can no longer update them when updating the profile.

In the profile, I would like both fields grayed out (set so the user can't update them).

When I use the code below, the fields are grayed out. However when the user updates other fields in the profile:

1. The membertext field is left unchanged in the database. Correct behavior.

2. The membercheck field is changed to unchecked (zero) database -- which is what is causing me the problem. I don't want this value to be updated.

I don't know if this is a bug or I am doing something wrong.

NOTE## I can't set the fields to read only for other reasons.


jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery('#membercheck').attr("disabled", true);
jQuery('#membertext').attr("disabled", true);

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

Members and non-members can register.

When a new user registers they can check if there a member (checkbox) and provide their memberid (text field) or if they can not provide these two fields,e.g. not a member.

THEN at a later time, they should be able, in their profile, update these two fields. Once these have been validated the fields are grayed out and not modifiable in the future. Setting the checkbox field to read only prevents a registered user from updating these two fields during in their profile.

The problem is that CB handles the checkbox and text field differently during the update. If I knew where the update code was I would hack it but -- its quite complicated i.e. not sure if its javascript, ajax or the like.

Your jQuery is just setting the field as disabled for display purposes, but this does not set it disabled internally.

the db has membercheck = 1 and membertext = 1234.

The display in the profile is grayed out with:

jQuery('#membercheck').attr("disabled", true);
jQuery('#membertext').attr("disabled", true);

After the page is updated:

the db has membercheck = 0 and membertext = 1234.

The problem is that an update will not change the membertext field in the database. However, the checkbox [membercheck] is changed from 1 to 0 in the database. My point is that the two fields are handled differently.


jQuery('#membercheck').attr("disabled", true);
jQuery('#membertext').attr("disabled", true);
