Hi,

You can try with JavaScript.

C#

function toggleEnable(oName){
var txtBox;
txtBox =document.getElementById(oName);
try
 {
   txtBox.readOnly = !txtBox.readOnly;
 }
 catch(e)
 {
    txtBox.readOnly=false;
 }}

Happy Coding

You could use jQuery[^] to toggle the fields, if you already assigned the textboxs (which require toggling) with a class.

C#

$('.toggle:text').attr('readonly', ( $('.toggle:text').attr('readonly') == 'readonly' ? '' : 'readonly' ) );

So now, every <input type="text" class="toggle" name="example" /> will now toggle between readonly and editable.

Notice that it will only change input fields of type 'text', with a class of 'toggle'.
