Accessing document from asp

Hi,
I was wondering if it is valid to write code as follows:
<%If Response.Write (l_IsChecked) Then %>
document.frmMain.txt_CurrentOutlay.readOnly= "true"
<%End If%>

The idea is to use the value of the variable to make a text box read only.
If the
value is True then my intention is to make the text box read only.
Any help is appreciated in advance.

Re: Accessing document from asp

Your page is just a bunch of text until it's rendered by a browser and so
your textbox has no properties on the server (unless you're using .NET
maybe, in which case you need a dot net group...)

You just need to modify the HTML source for the text box based on your "if"
test (which by the way looks very odd - you're testing if you can write to
the response??)

Maybe you meant Response.Form(l_IsChecked) ?
