How to disable InputField

Hi,
 
I have  scenario where i want to disable the inputField onload.
 
<apex:inputField id="sdate"   value="{!inputStartDate.Date__c}">

 
The value for input field is date.  Is there a way to do this?
 
Thanx

why not use the rendered attribute and make toggle the visibility of inputField and an outputField for the same field?

Cann't do that coz i need to show the date on the screen

Did you understand the solution Andrew suggested?  Whatever logic you need for having the field be editable or disabled, you use that to determine whether to show an inputField or an outputField.  outputField will still show you the date, but your users won't be able to edit it.

My apologies. i understood what he mention after i replied back.  i will try this solution. One more question, how do i get rid of the date  displayed next to the input field?

Hi,

I  tried this solution but my problem is, i have to change the date on the basis of the SelectList on the same page and there is no rerender associated with SelectList, so how do I toggle between inputfield and outputfield without refreshing the page?

 

Thanx

look at actionSupport.  Lots of examples on the boards of people using actionSupport with selectList.

jill,
 
Thanx for all your valuable input. I am using actionsupport but in the action method am evaluating the value for selectList as follows. Is there a better way to access the value of Selectlist .
 
System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('j_id0:stmtForm:headerBlock:datePickerDuration')
 
 
Thanx

You can't use DOM id's like that in your apex code.  I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the current page reference.

You access the value of selectList by calling the value attribute.  So if you have <apex:selectList value="{!myValue}"> then in your controller, you can call the same getMyValue() method that your page is calling.

Jill,
 
Thanx alot all your valuable help. I have implemented this one and the toggleing is working gr8. There are coupla other issues around that.
 
1. when i toggle for the first time, it gives me javascript error and doesn't show-up the calendar.
Line :16572
Char : 5
Error : Object Required
Code : 0
 
2. Is there way to show the earlier years in the calendar coz all this one is showing is years onward 2008 ?
 
 
Thanx

I'm not sure how to implement this suggestion.  Do you have a code example of this?

Try following changes

 

<apex:inputField id="sdate" value="{!inputStartDate.Date__c}" onfocus="this.blur()">
