Description

Converts all input tags (text radio checkbox reset button submit),

textarea tags and select tags in file <HTML> to read only.

The attributes added to each tag are as follows:

The class name class="readonly" can be changed using the --class option.

input type="button" -> disabled="disabled"

input type="file" -> disabled="disabled"

input type="image" -> disabled="disabled"

input type="reset" -> disabled="disabled"

input type="submit" -> disabled="disabled"

input type="checkbox" -> class="readonly" disabled="disabled"

input type="radio" -> class="readonly" disabled="disabled"

input type="text" -> readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1"

textarea -> readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1"

select -> readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1"

option -> disabled="disabled"

For <select> tags, the option with attribute selected="selected" will have

a tag of the format "input type="hidden" name="name" value="value" /> inserted

immediately after it. The same is done for <input type="radio" /> and

<input type="checkbox" /> tags with attribute checked="checked".

If multiple options are selected, multiple hidden tags are generated.

Example 1

Convert all tags to read only.

$ cat html

<input type="checkbox" name="name_checkbox" onclick="alert('linux!')"

value="z" checked="checked"/>

usp

laboratoy

</textarea>

</select>

</form>

</body></html>

$ formfix html

<input type="text" name="name_text" value="X" readonly="readonly"

class="readonly abc" tabindex="-1"/>

<input type="radio" name="name_radio" class="readonly" value="a"

disabled="disabled"/>

<input type="radio" name="name_radio" class="readonly" value="b"

checked="checked" disabled="disabled"/><input type="hidden"

name="name_radio" value="b"/>

<input type="radio" name="name_radio" class="readonly" value="c"

disabled="disabled"/>

<input type="checkbox" name="name_checkbox" onclick="alert('linux!')"

class="readonly" value="z" checked="checked"

disabled="disabled"/><input type="hidden" name="name_checkbox"

value="z"/>

<textarea name="name_textarea" readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1">

usp

laboratoy

</textarea>

<select name="pulldown1" readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1">

</select>

</form>

</body></html>

Example 2

Convert only the specified tags to read only.

$ cat tag

name_text

name_tag

$ formfix html tag

<input type="text" name="name_text" value="X" readonly="readonly"

class="readonly abc" tabindex="-1"/>

<input type="checkbox" name="name_checkbox" onclick="alert('linux!')"

value="z" checked="checked"/>

usp

laboratoy

</textarea>

</select>

</form>

</body></html>

Example 3

Convert all tags except specified tags to read only.

$ formfix --except name_submit

<input type="text" name="name_text" value="X" readonly="readonly"

class="readonly abc" tabindex="-1"/>

<input type="radio" name="name_radio" class="readonly" value="a"

disabled="disabled"/>

<input type="radio" name="name_radio" class="readonly" value="b"

checked="checked" disabled="disabled"/><input type="hidden"

name="name_radio" value="b"/>

<input type="radio" name="name_radio" class="readonly" value="c"

disabled="disabled"/>

<input type="checkbox" name="name_checkbox" onclick="alert('linux!')"

class="readonly" value="z" checked="checked"

disabled="disabled"/><input type="hidden" name="name_checkbox"

value="z"/>

<textarea name="name_textarea" readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1">

usp

laboratoy

</textarea>

<select name="pulldown1" readonly="readonly" class="readonly"

tabindex="-1">

</select>

</form>

</body></html>

--except name can be specified multiple times like --except name1

--except name2 ...

Example 4

The --except-file option lets you specify a file containing a list

of tags not to be converted to read only. There is no particular

format for the except file. Each field or record is read as a tag

name.

$ cat except_name # columns

submit cancel modoru

$ cat except_name # rows

submit

cancel

modoru

$ formfix --except-file except_name html

This is the same as the following:

$ formfix --except submit --except cancel --except modoru html

Note

1. If the tag already has a class attribute, then the class name is

changed to class="readonly <original_class>".

If the tag already has a tagindex attribute, it is overwritten

with tabindex="-1".

If the tag already has a disabled attribute, it is overwritten

with disabled="disabled".

2. The first field in the data file is interpreted as the name to

be made read only, and all subsequent fields are ignored.

3. The <htm> must be written as a crrect html file. For example,

all tags must be in lowercase and written as <tag /> or <tag>

</tag>.
