   So create functions that will enable and disable a passed array of 
objects (control names) such as:


function ButtonsDisable(buttons)
{
   foreach (buttons as button)
   {
     obj = document.getElementByID(button)
     obj.disabled = true
   }
}

function ButtonsEnable(buttons)
{
   foreach (buttons as button)
   {
     obj = document.getElementByID(button)
     obj.disabled = false
   }
}

So that up entering the code for *Edit*ing you would call the functions 
like:

ButtonsDisable(array("+","-","E"))
ButtonsEnable(array("S","C"))


   Off the cuff code, may need tweaking but that's the general idea. So 
I'm guessing that if 'categories' or 'items' is empty you would:

ButtonsDisable(array("-","E","S","C"))
ButtonsEnable(array("+"))
