Hi All,

As per the below dct code, I want to make replicated TextArea Field as readonly.

<script>
<![CDATA[
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/index/ContentContainer","OnReplicantAdded", saveHandler);
function saveHandler(){
var entries = IWDatacapture.getItem("/index/ContentContainer").getChildren();
for (var i=1; i<=entries.length; i++){


IWDatacapture.getItem("/index/ContentContainer["+i+"]/HeadingTitle").setReadOnly(true);
}
}
]]>

Any pointer will be appreciated.

First off - you should use the onFormInit event handler to call your init routine and put your other event handler calls and such within that init routine - otherwise you might run into a timing problem.

Secondly you should choose more appropriate names for your functions - why are you calling a "saveHandler" function for an "onReplicantAdded" event?

Thirdly, when you define an item event handler - including for replicants - the function you register for it is passed the item that triggers it - so you should be able to rewrite:

function saveHandler(){
    var entries = IWDatacapture.getItem("/index/ContentContainer").getChildren();
    for (var i=1; i<=entries.length; i++){
        IWDatacapture.getItem("/index/ContentContainer["+i+"]/HeadingTitle").setReadOnly(true);
    }
}

as:

function saveHandler(item) {
item.getChildByName("/HeadingTitle").setReadOnly(true);
}

Do you understand?
