[thelist] Toggle disable/enable of text box

[Joshua OIson]

Try this:

<form>
<input type=checkbox onclick="test.disabled =this.checked; return true;">
<input name="test" value="Enter text here">
</form>

Often times (jeff can explain better) you have to return true from an event
to make is effects activate.
