Enable button after downloading file
Hello everyone,
I am having what seems to be a very simple problem. I am designing a form that has 2 buttons being used. The first button opens up a dialog box to open or save a PDF file. It is enabled by default. The second button is to open up a new page and take an "exam". This button is disabled by default. I want the "Take Test" button to enable after clicking the first button. If I comment out the code that loads the file, this works. Something about the PDF file loading is keeping the second button disabled. Below is my code and I attached the zip file. *Please note: I'm not against using the proper code to open the PDF file in a separate window. If you comment out the line the forces the open/cancel/save dialog box, it will open the file in the SAME window*
