How to Disable Text Fields with Radio Buttons in JavaScript

In web development, creating forms that react dynamically to user input is crucial for improving user experience. One common scenario is disabling specific text fields based on the selection of radio buttons. However, if you're struggling with getting your radio button to effectively disable a text field, you’re not alone. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to correctly implement this feature in your form using JavaScript.

The Problem

You have a form with two sets of input fields: one for the merchant's name and one for the owner's name. You have added radio buttons that you want to use to toggle which text field is enabled while the other is disabled. However, clicking on these radio buttons doesn't result in the desired action – one text field remains enabled regardless of your selection.

So, how can you fix this? Let’s break down the solution step-by-step.

The Solution

Step 1: Update your HTML Structure

To make the radio buttons work properly, it’s important to ensure every radio button has a unique id. Below is the updated HTML code for your form with a new id added to the second radio button:

Step 2: Update the JavaScript Logic

Next, you need to adjust your JavaScript function to include logic for both radio buttons. The function will check which radio button is selected and enable or disable the corresponding text fields. Here’s how it looks:

Step 3: Putting It All Together

After implementing changes to both your HTML and JavaScript, your complete form should now function correctly. Clicking on a radio button will appropriately enable or disable the text fields as desired.

Final Thoughts

Understanding how to manage user inputs dynamically not only enhances user experience but also makes your forms more intuitive. By following these steps to setup your radio buttons and corresponding text fields, you can easily control the state of input fields based on user choices.
