Unfortunately it has the same effect.  Something I noticed that I forgot to mention.  Two of the fields that I am attempting to unprotect have required field validators attached, and one has a phone number mask and the other an email validation.  Neither of the two controls are subjected to the field validation.  When I type in the phone number the ___-___-____ that is in the box is moved aside as I type rather than being replaced as I type.  The email field accepts "asdfasdf" as a valid email address. 

 

My code now reads:

I was going to upload some images that I thought might have helped get a clearer picture of the issue I am having, however I getting an upload error when I attempt to insert images, and I am getting a javascript error when I attempt to attach files using "Desktop".

 

Javascript Error:

I have uploaded the images to Google Docs.  Hopefully you will be able to see them through there.

 

The first image is of form I am typing the information into.

The second image is of the breakpoint where the information is being submitted to an update function.  This form fills in the boxes with certain information to begin with, and then if you uncheck the Contact Insured box it is supposed to unprotect those fields and allow you to change the contact information.  I have blocked out the contact name and phone fields because it contains information I can not allow you to see , however I can tell you that it is not the information that was put in on the page, plus you can see the three other fields are blank when they should contain the information submitted on the page.

The third page is the code, as you can see I have tried several different methods of setting or clearing the "readOnly" attribute/property.

looks like you are using some sort of input mask plugin in which case you should work through the API of the mask

Thank you for the suggestions.

 

jay - I am not entirely sure, but whether I specify readonly in the tag, or change it programmatically via ASP.Net, I get the same result.  The field appears to become unprotected, but when I submit the form the data does not come across.  I am not sure why, and I am not sure if I will ever truely find an answer.  But I did find something that did finally work.  I am now setting the readonly property via javascript only.  In my $(document).ready function I check if the checkbox is checked and if so I protect the fields and if not I don't.  Also, if the checkbox is checked/unchecked I run function that sets the readonly accordingly.  Since all manipulation of the readonly attribute/property is done via js/jquery it seems to be working now.  However, I am still having an issue with the input mask for the phone number.

 

charlietfl - I have tried uploading .bmp, .jpg and .tiff, all without any success.  I have a feeling it may be because of my firewall here at work, or that the function within the website is not working or liking my files.

 

Again, thanks for the responses.  If you have any ideas why changing the readonly property would affect my input masks, please let me know.

This problem about asp.net is a issue of security. Imagine the situation, if you set all fields on server-side to be ReadOnly, but any javascript is able to change this property, it doesn't make sense. The framework must ensure that what it was render will be the same what it will receive.

I had the same problem.

Sorry my english.
