nishanth0208 Disabling a field in input page based on a picklist value?
Hi Guys,
I need help for a functionality in VF page to hide one of two fields based on picklist value in the same page.
Here we have : 1)Opportunity type (PICKLIST) with options NEW, EXISTING.
2)Opportunity LookUp
3) Opportunity Name Text Field
Here, i need to disable the Opportunity Lookup if the picklist value is NEW. Sameway, i need to disable Opportunity Name text field, if the piklist value in EXISTING.
Please let me know whether i can do this or not, suggest me the code to disable appropriate fields in my custom object's new record page.
Tons of Thanks,
Nishanth.
There's a couple of ways to do this - one is to set the render attribute for the fields based on the value of the property backing the picklist. You'd need to have an onchange handler to submit the page back to the server.
The other is to use javascript and leave the fields there but disable/enable based on the selected value from the picklist.

Thanks for the Knowldge. I did it using the Render and Onchange just now ... It works fine. And may i know how can i do the same in JavaScript? (Just For Information)
You can use the $Component global variable to locate HTML inputs on the page. Once you have figured out the correct $Component value of the id, you can get the selected value from the select list and based on that enable/disable inputs.
Something like:
var ele=document.getElementById('{!$Component.form.block.field');
var opt=ele.options[ele.selectedIndex];
if (opt='NEW')
{
var newEle=document.getElementById('{!$Component.form.block.newfield');
newEle.disabled=true;
}
i am having picklist values like fresher and experienced, if fresher is selected the previous employee and experirnce text fields should be disabled , can u give code for this?
I am new to salesforce, am getting errors in render, onchange etc.
The requirements is to enable a picklist field and make it mandatory based on a checkbox.
Once the picklist field is enabled, if the picklist value=Common , I have to enable another field. Javascript does not work out for me.
Can you please help me with the code.
Hi bob,
Is it possible to do the same case for standard page instead of visualforce page.
Not in any supported way.
Check out this blog post from Jason Venable which shows how to interact with the page from the sidebar:
