Interactive Buttons...

[116]

I have just introduced my self to interactive buttons. I like them but...I
have a few that after 'onclick' the button is inactive, and thus grays out.
The interactive does not. What would I have to do for this effect to
function?

Thanks
David

 

[Ronx]

Please post a link to a page with this problem. I have never seen an IB
"gray out"

 

[116]

The site is internal only, but here is the button that grays out:
<button type="button" onclick="this.disabled = true, calcinc()">Click
Me</button>

and the IB that does not:
<img border="0" id="img1" src="images/buttons/clear3.gif" height="20"
width="50" alt="Clear" fp-style="fp-btn: Embossed Rectangle 5; fp-font:
Verdana; fp-font-size: 8; fp-transparent: 1; fp-proportional: 0"
fp-title="Clear"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttons/clear1.gif')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttons/clear3.gif')"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttons/clear2.gif')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttons/clear1.gif')"
onclick="this.disabled = true, FP_callJS('clrfields()'),
document.forms[0].Shop_Order.focus()">

The first button is a form element that can be disabled. Interactive
buttons are not form elements, and thus cannot be disabled - but they
can be hidden using a behaviour, if that helps?

They are actually disabling. I can click them once only. But the fact that
visually you can not notice that it disables is what I am looking for, just
like the form element button you referenced.

Try this:
<p><img id="img1" alt="Clear" border="0" height="20"
onclick="this.disabled =
true;FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear2.gif');
FP_callJS('clrfields()'); document.forms[0].Shop_Order.focus()"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear2.gif')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear3.gif')"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear1.gif')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear1.gif')"
src="clear3.gif" width="50" /><!-- MSComment="ibutton" fp-style="fp-btn:
Embossed Rectangle 5; fp-font: Verdana; fp-font-size: 8;
fp-font-color-press: #808080; fp-transparent: 1; fp-proportional: 0"
fp-title="Clear" -->&nbsp; </p>

Notice the onclick event also changes the image, and the font colour is
changed on the pressed image - IB properties Font tag.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/pages/ibdisable-test.htm

However, this solution is not perfect. Although the button is disabled,
and greyed out, clicking on it again restores the original font colour.

hey Ronx...I saw the demo and it lloked sweet until I accidently clicked on
it a second time. The original image came back. Also I can nnot get the
same results as you are getting on your test page.

David

Try this:
<p><img id="img1" alt="Clear" border="0" height="20"
onclick="this.disabled =
true;FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear2.gif');
FP_callJS('clrfields()'); document.forms[0].Shop_Order.focus()"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear2.gif')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear3.gif')"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear1.gif')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'clear1.gif')"
src="clear3.gif" width="50" /><!-- MSComment="ibutton" fp-style="fp-btn:

Of course, disabling javascript causes it all to go out the window....
