Way to disable <$checkbox> element?

[Cade Roux]

In HTML <input> there is a disabled attribute.  But this is not available in <$checkbox>  Would also like to be able to disable <$edit-text> as well.

Particular use case is that during my build cycle I am generating results into some TW in a "read-only" mode where the users cannot sign off on things and into some TW in a "test verification" mode where users do have to sign off on things, and I would like the layout to look similar to users and be able to simplify the code which generates the tiddlers/transcludes.  Currently, I replace those inputs with literal text, but would prefer to just be able to tag them with disabled so that all the existing TW bindings logic to tiddlers/fields would work.

I am considering just generating <input> elements which would look similar to the TW <$checkbox> elements but are disabled by attribute (and would lose their binding to the underlying tiddlers/fields, so that would have to be a literal as well).  Another option I am considering is layering a div over them so they cannot get the focus.

Thanks in advance,

Cade

Hi,

This will be implemented in TW 5.1.23 ... the next version

A pass-thru of the "disabled" attribute should really be implemented for all input widgets, including edit fields (single-line and textarea), checkboxes, radiobuttons, and select lists.

In addition, it would be nice if the $timestamp="no" attribute was also available for use with all input widgets.  Just like <$action-setfield $timestamp="no" ...>, this attribute would NOT affect the TWCore refresh cycle or the "dirty" flag on tiddlers, but would simply prevent the tiddler's timestamp from being changed.

That will be really excellent.

Thank you so much!
