Disabling elements on load

[Rob]

Does anybody see anything wrong ith this code? I want to have the
elements disabled on load by default and it doesn't seem to work this
way.

Thanks
Rob

<script language="Javas cript">
<!--
window.onload(D isableElements( ));

function DisableElements (){
document.forms[0].RepContactDemo graphic_2_1.dis abled = true;
document.forms[0].RepFlightTrave lArriveDate_1.d isabled = true;
document.forms[0].RepFlightTrave lDepartDate_1.d isabled = true;
document.forms[0].RepContactDemo graphic_3_1.dis abled = true;
document.forms[0].RepContactDemo graphic_4_1.dis abled = true;
document.forms[0].RepDepartureCi ty_1.disabled = true;

}

//-->
</script>

Should be
<script type="text/javascript">
The type attribute is required by HTML 4, and is always sufficient.

This code immediately calls the window's onload property with an
argument that is the return value of calling DisableElements .
What you probably meant was:
---
window.onload = DisableElements ;
---
There should be no calling of functions yet.

I would create a variable referring to the form (or event its elements
collection) insted of finding it froms cratch for each line:

var formElems = document.forms[0].elements;
formElems['RepContactDemo graphic_2_1'].disabled = true;
formElems['RepFlightTrave lArriveDate_1'].disabled = true;
...
