    Hi Shekhar,

    getElementsByTagName("input") only works for regular fields.

    Try getElementsByTagName('textarea'). I am not sure if this will work together with getFieldByName. Maybe you can also directly call your textarea:

     var input1 = document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0];

    Haven´t tested the samples, but I hope one of them works.

    Ciao,

    Thanks a lot for the quick help Angela. The solution

    input1.getElementsByTagName("textarea")[0].disabled = true; 

    worked.
