How to reference a field with model id in Javascript

Hello,

A very basic question whose answer I couldn't find. How do I refer to a form field after I have added "Model Id" to it. I was earlier using a form without using a model id and wrote the following code:

document.cf_myform.ip_bit_approved.readOnly = true;

in Load JS to make a field Read Only.

This was working fine. I had to add Model ID because of the corresponding CC connection usage. Now the field name in form is: ab[ip_bit_approved], which was earlier ip_bit_approved. I tried many options including

document.cf_myform.ab.ip_bit_approved.readOnly = true;

but it didn't work.

The script has stopped working and I can't get it to work. How do I refer to this field in Javascript.

Thanks
Amal

Hi Amal,

If the id in the Form HTML is ab[ip_bit_approved] then I'd suggest that you try document.ab[ip_bit_approved] or, using the MooTools syntax $('ab[ip_bit_approved]')

Maybe you can simply add an "id" attribute to the field and use

$("field_id")

?
