how to make a vf page with the input fields "read only"?

Puja_mfsiPuja_mfsi

Hi,

you can use java scrip in onload of a page and set the attribute 'readOnly' to true for inputField.

 

Let give me an example:

 

<apex:page standardController="Account" id="thePage">
        <apex:form id="theForm">
              <apex:pageBlock id="theBlock">
                     <apex:pageBlockSection id="theSec">
                                    <apex:inputField value="{!Account.name}" id="accName" />
                     </apex:pageBlockSection>
              </apex:pageBlock>
              <script>
                       function setResult(){
                                    document.getElementById('thePage:theForm:theBlock:theSec:accName').readOnly=true;
                        }
                       window.onload = setResult;
                </script>
         </apex:form>
</apex:page>

When we create the field,in FLS(Field level Security), check the field as read only. And since you are using <apex:inputField>, the field will reflect as 'READ-ONLY'.

Hi,

 

You can also use <apex:outputfield> tag, to make a field read-only.
