    I have a sharepoint custom form and wanna to set some multiline field readonly on it with java script or jquery.

    I try this commands:

    alert($("textarea[title='m']").attr('readonly'));
    $("textarea[title='m']").attr('readonly', 'readonly');
    alert($("textarea[title='m']").attr('readonly'));

    the first alert show: false

    second alert show: true

    but the field is not readonly. I use the same code and replace 'textarea' with 'input' for other fields and it works ;O ;O

    Any solutions???????????

    I try it:

    $('input[type="text"], textarea').each(function(){$(this).attr('readonly', 'readonly'); });

    and it:

    $('input[type="text"], textarea').attr('readonly', 'readonly');

     but no one works, and the textbox is not readonly...

    I try this:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {DisableRichTextField('m');});

    function DisableRichTextField(title){

                                    var richEditor = getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("Textarea","TextField",title);

                                    var iframeID = RTE_GetEditorIFrameID(richEditor.id);

                                    var elemTextArea=RTE_GetEditorTextArea(richEditor.id);

                                    var editor = document.getElementById(iframeID);

                                    if (editor != null){editor.outerHTML = "<div style='background-color:white;border:1px solid #c4c4c4;color:silver;width:386px;height:84px'>" + elemTextArea.value + "&nbsp;</div>";}}</script>

    and this:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {HideTextAreaField('m');});

    function HideTextAreaField(title){var theTextAreaBox= getTagFromIdentifierAndTitle("textarea", "", title)

                    if (theTextAreaBox!= null){theTextAreaBox.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.style.display ="none";}}</script>

    and in both cases I got runtime error:

    Hi Samato,

    Pls try this. Use firbug or any developer tools to get the ID of the control.

    $("textarea[id='<ID of text area>']").attr('readonly', 'readonly');

    I know that this question has been asked for a long time, but I would like to share this article "Disable SharePoint Multiline TextBox Field In Edit Form"   that may be helpful for all future users like me!

    This code is working like charm for me

    $("textarea[title='column title']").attr('readonly', 'readonly');

    I think Using title instead of id will not require developer tools, find the details here
