Have you tried IE 3?
Seriously, Netscape 4 is old and doesn't have support for disabled form
controls, not even with static HTML. If you want to have HTML 4 support
then use Netscape 7 (6 would do for that too but use the latest version
if possible).
As a workaround for NN 4 the following might help:

You will find that problem exists up to Communicator v4.8 (terminal
release). Neither the DISABLED nor the READONLY stop the <input> from
receiving focus and allowing the user to enter/change a value.

<form name="myForm">
<input
type="text"
name="myInput"
value="abc"
defaultvalue="a bc"
onchange="this. value=this.defa ultValue;"
onfocus="if (this.blur) this.blur();"
/>
</form>

But it's still not completely the same as READONLY or DISABLED, and it's
quite a bit of code to prevent the changing of an input that you will
have to validate on the server anyway.
