How to set disabled="disabled" for form input type checkbox?

  1. Hi,

    I'm trying to create a form (with a gform_pre_render filter) that would disable one or more checkboxes. In "plain" HTML, I'd expect that to be possible with the property:

    <input type="checkbox" disabled="disabled" />.

    I'm not able to locate docs describing how I could modify/add properties to fields (like a checkbox). Is that capability not available?

  2. There is no built in functionality to disable a checkbox. You can do it with a little jQuery. I would give the select box a custom CSS class of "gform_disabled", then in your jQuery loop through all the fields and when you find that class, add the attribute of 'disabled="disabled"' (or readonly="readonly" as appropriate.)
