Disabling a text entry field
I have a page with text entry fields. I want to disable / enable fields depending on the value of a variable. Is it possible to enable/disable text entry fields?
Hi Andrew,
There isn't a trigger to enable/disable - but you could use the transparent shape over the top of the text entry so that the user couldn't type inside it or click on it. That could be trigger to be in a "normal" or "hidden" state based on the value of a variable when the timeline starts.
If you're still having a difficulty time setting this up please share a copy of your .story file so that we can assist.
Hi Ashley. That's exactly what I'm doing now. But it would be neater and less clunky if I could simply disable text entry - it's a pretty standard web form behaviour - maybe Articulate can add this to the list of nice-to-have enhancements?
