Making a field Uneditable/Read-Only in Custom Object's Visual Force page ?

Hi All,

 

         I had a requirement of making a field Read-Only in an object's page. I am able to make it read-only using the code like below:

 

// var noofpackage1 = document.getElementById("{!$Component.formid.pageblockid.noofpackage1}");

noofpackage1.disabled=true;

 

But in this context, i kept some value in that read-only field while page load itself.  The problem here i got is 

           IF I GIVE THE VALUE AS "1", AT THE TIME OF PAGE LOAD I CAN SEE THE VALUE, BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO SAVE THE RECORD WITH THAT VALUE. THE VALUE IS DISAPPEARING WHILE I AM TRYING TO SAVE. AND THE POST SAVE PAGE(VIEW PAGE) IS NOT SHOWING THE VALUE WHICH I TRIED TO ASSIGN AT THE TIME OF PAGE LOAD.

            i am using Professional Edition. I cant make the field read-only in page layout since i am using VF page and i cant make the field read-only in Profile page since PE does nt contains profiles.

Help me out in achieving this guys.

      Tons of thanks,.

Hi,

 

Is there any reason for using javascript???

 

If you are using inputfield or something it already has a property called "disabled"....

 

Thanks,

Edwin

Can you use outputField to accomplish what you are doing?
