the version teamsite 5.5.2

I have a replicant which contains textbox and textbox with call-out. Basically I want the call-out textbox readonly.
From start I want the fields readonly users can only change the value through the call-out.

thanks.

In 5.5.2 this may be a bit complex - because I think if you define the text field associated with the callout as read-only the callout is itself disabled (if I'm wrong - then it's trivial - just define the text field associated with the callout as read-only ;-) - and there's no explicit FormAPI replicant event handling in 5.5.2 (not until 6.5)

I believe you can put a generic FormAPI event handler on the replicant path (e.g. "/path/to/replicant") which I think will allow you to define a function that will set the text-field to be read-only on the fly.

If you search through the forums (probably using someting like "replicant callout read only" for the term and "AND" for the operator) you may be able to find a bunch of examples that go further into details.

If you manage to upgrade to 6.5 - you'll get additional FormAPI functions for handling replicants which will make your life significantly easier (at least in this regard).
