That's really not something that would work the way you think it would. Nor would it be something I'd try.

Have you ever tried to force the change of a form type in an OnLoad event? For example, if a certain set of fields meet pre-defined criteria, then set the type from 2 to 3 or 2 to 4 thereby making a temporary override of the user's security rights on just that form (not the entity at large)?

That is an excellent point. I have an article discribing just such a situation - http://blogs.infinite-x.net/2007/03/19/verifying-form-context-before-invoking-javascript-code/

But I totally forgot to reference it in the article.

Thanks for the reminder.

Something else to consider when using code on the onload event and form types is when a user selects the quick create option. In this case the form is different to the standard one (less fields). Should your code reference one of the fields from the standard form but not the quick create form then you can run into problems and generate error messages for the user (not nice).

To resolve this you can check if the FormType is set to 5 (quick create) and code appropriatley.
