This what I am trying to accomplish : when user clicks on any one of the text boxes,its readonly gets removed,but rest of the text boxes must remain readonly only if it has no values in it,but I am getting it as readonly for rest of the boxes(even if the textbox contains some x values)
HTML:
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon icon_change"><i class="fa"></i></span>
<input type="text" class="form-control text-right rate load_rate" id= "load_rate1" name="load_rate1" onkeypress="return NumberValues(this,event);" maxlength="10" onchange="return decimalNumber(this);" readonly/>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon icon_change"><i class="fa"></i></span>
<input type="text" class="form-control text-right rate load_rate" id= "load_rate2" name="load_rate2" onkeypress="return NumberValues(this,event);" maxlength="10" onchange="return decimalNumber(this);" readonly/>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon icon_change"><i class="fa"></i></span>
<input type="text" class="form-control text-right rate load_rate" id= "load_rate3" name="load_rate3" onkeypress="return NumberValues(this,event);" maxlength="10" onchange="return decimalNumber(this);" readonly/>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon icon_change"><i class="fa"></i></span>
<input type="text" class="form-control text-right rate load_rate" id= "load_rate4" name="load_rate4" onkeypress="return NumberValues(this,event);" maxlength="10" onchange="return decimalNumber(this);" readonly/>
</div>
JS I have tried :
$(document).on('focus', '.rate', function(){
$(this).removeAttr("readonly");
if($('.rate').val() == ''){
$('.rate').not(this).attr("readonly", true);
}
});
$('.rate').val() is most likely not what you expect it to be.
$('.rate') is an array of all elements with the class .rate. When you do something like $('.rate').val(), jQuery will always use the first element in that array to evaluate the expression.
But you want to check every single element so you have to iterate over that array and check each element individually:
$('.rate').each(function( i, el ){
// do something with each element
// i = index in array,
// el = element
});
$(document).on('focus', '.rate', function() {
$('.rate').each(function( i, el ){
// always trim() the input to when you check for empty fields
if($(el).val().trim() === "") $(el).attr('readonly', true);
});
$(this).removeAttr("readonly");
});input[readonly] {
border: 1px solid red;

<input type="text" class="rate" readonly value="123"/>
<input type="text" class="rate" readonly value=""/>
<input type="text" class="rate" readonly value=""/>
<input type="text" class="rate" readonly value=""/>Is this solve your problem?
$(".rate").on('focus',function(){
if(!$(this).val()){
$(this).removeAttr("readonly");
