JavaScript Hack to Disable Fields for Internal WebCenter Users

In ApplyYourself, it may sometimes be desirable for some application fields to be editable by the applicant and then locked down for internal WebCenter users after the application is submitted. One example may be the term to which the applicant originally applied, before a decision or subsequent deferral occurs.

In order to accomplish this, the following JavaScript hack may be used.

<script type="text/javascript">
function isViewedInWebCenter() {
  return document.domain == "webcenter.applyyourself.com";
} // function isViewedInWebCenter()

if (isViewedInWebCenter()) {
  var inputElement =
      document.getElementById(inputElementId);
  inputElement.disabled = true;
} // if (isViewedInWebCenter())
</script>

Adding this bit of code to the bottom of a section's HTML should do the trick.
