Disable checkbox in View
.net, asp.net, asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-3, c#
Solution
Even if you have set `disabled=""` it is still classed as being disabled as the element will still have the `disabled` attribute. Without using JavaScript/JQuery you'll have to do an if statement in your View.
Bear with me as I'm used to Razor syntax, but it should be something like:
<%if (model.CanModifyList) { %>
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(c => c.HasList)%>
<% } else { %>
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(c => c.HasList, new { disabled = "disabled" })%>
<% } %>
What would be even nicer is if you created your own HTML Helper (maybe an overload to `CheckBoxFor`) that returned the correct HTML dependent upon the model property, that way it saves you doing additional logic in your view :)
Problem
I am trying to disable a checkbox in my View using a Model property. However, in both the cases, the checkbox is disabled. Should I not be using "" in the following code? ``` <%= Html.CheckBoxFor(c => c.HasList, new { disabled = (Model.CanModifyList) ? "" : "disabled" })%> ```
