hi ...

refer to your textbox node with getElemenById(' the_textbox_id' ) and set the readonly property to true:

[CODE=javascript]node_ref.readon ly = true;[/CODE]
put that in a function and call it onclick of the button.

kind regards

[CODE=javascript]document.getEle mentById("Textb oxid").disabled = true;[/CODE]

or else

[CODE=javascript]formname.texbox name.disabled = true;
[/CODE]

one note: the text in readonly boxes may be selected and so copied in disabled ones you cannot do that .... but in both cases tha box is not editable :)

kind regards

One other major difference is that disabled field values are not sent when the form is submitted whereas read-only ones are.
