setReadOnly Issue

I am attempting to set the value of a field and then set that field to readonly using the setReadOnly function. I've gotten this readonly functionality to only work part of the time. If I insert alert statements right before the setReadOnly function, it appears to always work, but if I remove it the random work/don't work continues.

Does anyone know if there is an issue with the setReadOnly function?

Here is the code that is run:

function setObjectId (r) {
var objectIDItem = IWDatacapture.getItem("/bannerad/objectid");
objectIDItem.setReadOnly(true);
objectIDItem.setValue(r);
objectIDItem.setFocus();
}

I've also tried changing the order of the calls but have had no luck resolving this yet.

Thanks,

Craig

Sounds like some Form Load latency issue. Do you do that "onFormInit" Event?
If "Yes", note that "Form Initiated" and "Form Loaded" are two different things in FormsPublisher

This was the solution. I was just calling init(); and I've changed that call to:

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction......
