If you have a parent dropdown with a null value, the cascading is disabled till you select a value from the parent. What is the URL of the page? That way I can better understand your question.

I understand that the cascading dropdown will appear disabled if there is no value in the parent dropdown. I just need the code to disable the cascading field regardless of what the parent dropdown has.

This will disable the cascading

document.getElementsByName("Element Name")[0].disabled= true;

but let me see when we should cal it to make this happen :?: :?: :?: :!: :!: :!:

Here is the code :wink: :wink: :wink:

var first = true;

document.getElementsByName('InsertRecordaddress_Text')[0].onchange = dis;

function dis()

{

if (first)

{

document.getElementsByName('Element Name')[0].disabled = true;

first = false;

}

else

{

document.getElementsByName('Element Name')[0].disabled = false;

}

}

You need to insert it in the HTML block, below the cascading dropdown. and also replace Element Name with your valid cascading dropdown field name.

I have tried this code in firefox and chrome and it is just working fine.

To disable a specific Form Element, you can now use Rules or Conditional Forms. To know more about it, you can check it here: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/forms/conditional-forms/

I hope this helps!
