    Readonly textbox with scroll

    Hello,
    I am stuck with a problem trying to mimic the behavior of a Windows
    Forms Readonly textbox in HMTL/ASP.NET.

    Basically, I would like the text to be readonly and overflow the
    textbox (overflow attribute) with the user being able to scroll thru
    the text using the arrow keys within the textbox.

    I managed to get the readonly and the overflow part to work but cannot
    figure out a way to let the user place the cursor within the box and
    allow scrolling within a readonly textbox.

    Any help would be very appreciated....

    Thanks
    Kannan

          Hi,

          I think old good html will fit your needs:

          <div
          style="height:4 0px; width:40px; overflow-y:scroll; display:block;
          border: 1px solid black">
          aaaaa
          bbbbb
          ccccc
          ddddd
          eeeee
          fffff
          ggggg
          </div>

          Click inside and scroll with arrows...

                  This works in my IE 6, Netscape 7.2, Firefox 1.0.3:

                  textarea{
                  border: 2px solid brown;
                  width: 300px;
                  height: 200px;
                  }

                  <body>
                  <textarea readonly="true" enabled="true">
                  This is my textbox. This is my textbox. This is my textbox. This is my
                  textbox.....
                  </textarea>
