Disabling a field of type Text Area

Question

Hello Experts, 
 I need to disable a field of type Text Area. I am using the below code on form populate event 
 var input1 = getFieldByName("Test_Text_Area"); setTimeout(function() { input1 .getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true; }, 100); 
 When the field is of type Text, the above code works fine but when its of type Text Area , the field is not getting disabled. 
 
 Any help is highly appreciated. 
 
 Regards, 
 Shekhar

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&acute;t tested the samples, but I hope one of them works. 
 Ciao,
