H5 Script - Issue with dropdown attribute - New UI Version above 2.0

Hi,

I'm trying to set a Dropdown as disabled on a certain scenario and that works well with classic UI but does not work in new UI. Below is my Jquery that works in Classic UI,

$('#WWISRS').attr("disabled", 'true');

Please let me know what needs to be done for the Script version above 2.0(new UI).

Hi Sudhakaran,

Can you try this code?

$("#WWISRS").next().children().first().addClass("is-readonly")

Hi @sheilamae-jornadal

This code disables the dropdown but if we move the cursor on that field it enables the field again.

$('#WWISRS').attr('readonly', 'readonly')

Yes it will works.

That's pure JQuery and I use it in thousands of scripts.

Of course $('#WWISRS') can return more than one element if open 2 panels....

It might have worked thousands of scripts for you, but it's not working for me.
I don't know you tried it with new UI.

Hi Sudhakaran,

I was playing around with the elements of the H5 screen and it looks like the dropdown is wrapped in multiple html tags of different sorts. I tried the STAT field in CRS61/E and any of these works for me.

Either using the GetElement of the controller:

this.controller.GetContentElement().GetElement("WRSTAT").find(".dropdown").addClass("is-readonly")

or plain jquery:

$("#WRSTAT").parent().find(".dropdown").addClass("is-readonly")

I'm not sure it works in all scenarios but test it.

Thank you DaHen, I understand this I will inspect the element give it a try on your approach and let you know.
