To prevent any changes to the form components when the view button is clicked, I need to disable them. Here is my form:
<form action="#" class="form-horizontal" >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="fieldname" class="col-md-3 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" ng-model="newItem.customSelected" typeahead="name as name.name for name in members | filter:{name:$viewValue}" class="form-control" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="fieldhname" class="col-md-3 control-label">House name</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" ng-model="newItem.customSelected1" typeahead="house_name as house_name.house_name for house_name in family | filter:{house_name:$viewValue}" class="form-control" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="" class="col-md-3 control-label"><?php echo $this->lang->line('label_family_id'); ?></label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" ng-model="newItem.customSelected2" typeahead="fm as fm.family_reg_no for fm in family | filter:{family_reg_no:$viewValue}" class="form-control" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3"></div>
</form>
And here is my view button:
<input type="button" class="finish btn-success btn" ng-click="view(newItem)" value="view"/>
