Readonly

[Hamish]

I have an input box which is created with the readonly option included. Is
it possible to turn this off.

This is so the input box is not selectable untill a radio button is switched
on.

I have tried form.ip.readonl y = false, but this doesn't work

Thanks

Case is important, the name of that property is readOnly and not readonly:

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-88461592

so try
<input type="radio"
onclick="if (this.checked) {
this.form.eleme nts.inputName.r eadOnly = false;
}">
