I need a way of capturing onclick, for a text input that is disabled.
I would prefer not to use jQuery, but if there was no javascript alternative, would use it.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I have tried simply adding an onclick="" to a disabled text field, which did not work.
Is there any way to do it without jquery?
Thanks
How about delegation events to parent elements like here?
<span style="position:relative;" onClick="event.target.value='clicked';">
<input type="text" disabled "/>
</span>
If my answer is acceptable please comment it and I'll make an explanation.
You are probably lookinf for this:-
$("div").click(function (evt) {
$(this).hide().prev("input[disabled]").prop("disabled", false).focus();
});
DEMO JSFIDDLE
This is the modified jsfiddle proposed by Rahul Tripathi using pure javascript.
This is the function that made it works:
document.getElementById("textInput").onclick = function() {
alert("Input clicked");
}
