How do I have a disabled entry in a Jelly form

[Marc Carter]

Hi

I think the subject says it all but to expand: I wish to conditionally show some f:entry/f:checkbox elements as greyed-out (ideally with a suitable tooltip) rather than simply not displaying them. Is this not possible?

I guess it depends on how you want to eventually reenable the elements on the page, but in general you're talking about using JavaScript on the page that watches the values change in certain fields and then enables/disables the "special" fields.

I'm not looking for "dynamic" as in realtime changes, page-load is fine. Enablement is based on installation/use of other plugins. Here's what I've got together now as a workaround:

      <f:entry title="${e.id}">
        <j:choose>
          <j:when test="${e.disabledText != null}">
            <label tooltip="${%Not applicable}: ${e.disabledText}">
              <input type="checkbox" disabled="disabled"/>
              ${e.description}
            </label>
          </j:when>
          <j:otherwise>
            <f:checkbox title="${e.description}" name="exclusions" default="${instance.exclusions.contains(e.id)}"
                        json="${e.id}"/>
          </j:otherwise>
        </j:choose>
      </f:entry>
