readonly on form textarea

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 23.2008

Hi All,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to make a textarea readonly based on the URL or domain it’s coming from? I’m sure it’s possble, but I can’t find anything on how it’s done.

Regards,

Daz

@FangJul 23.2008 — URL or domain it's coming from[/QUOTE]What coming from where?

@toicontienJul 23.2008 — Just test the document.referrer property to detect a domain:
var referrer = document.referrer;

if (referrer.indexOf('www.google.com') > -1) {
myTextArea.readonly = true;
}

@slaughtersJul 23.2008 — But isn't document.referrer inconsistent ?

Works if you clicked on a link to get to the page, but not if someone just typed in the URL ?

P.S.

If the original poster is referring to current domain then use window.location.hostname

@irishfighterauthorJul 24.2008 — Thanks for the code, toicontien. Where do I define myTextArea? Is it an id, class...?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@toicontienJul 24.2008 — [B]myTextArea[/B] is just a dummy variable representing a reference to a <textarea>. How you actually reference a textarea depends on your HTML. Can you post the HTML you are using?

Success!
