Enable or disable DIV tag and its inner controls using Javascript[^]

FYI, you can't expect perfect code for your projects, you'll have to customize it for better use. Search, customize, test & use it

Hi Hari,

A DIV has no read or write property, and no properties at all, by default. So, you can create a div and put things in it, but you can't make the div 'read only'. It's not read or write by default, it's just a container for other content.
To make all controls readonly refer this link[^].

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK

Instead of adding code to make the div a read only, you can try add a asp:panel in the div so that the controls are within the panel. Make Enabled property of the panel to false so that all the controls inside are not editable.
