[Shelly]

Here is a simple one. How do you make a text field uneditable?

<input type="text" readonly>, if I recall correctly.

<input type="text" disabled value="TEXT HERE!"> That will also work.

I noticed that Message-ID:

upperhacker@gma il.com contained the following:

><input type="text" disabled value="TEXT HERE!"> That will also work.[/color]

Excuse me, but what's the point of a text box that you can't edit? Why
not just echo the value to the screen?

Keep in mind that a the value of a disabled field doesn't get posted on
submit where as a that of a readonly field does. Disabling a textarea
also disables its scroll-bar(s).

It's a way to show the user that something on-screen was editable but
no longer is.

Example: I create an internal "mail form". I preset the destination and
the sender. I don't want those changed in any way as they are going to and
from usernames. I want the "Send To:" and "From:" to look like text boxes
since the "Subject:" is a text box (and the message is a text area).

It is just aesthetics.

Must thank shelly for asking the question as I wanted to know that .

I have a use for a text box you cant edit on
www.phpguestbook.co.uk/phpgb_sign_guestbook.php for the anti bot
security code .

Just a quick method of displaying and passing both the security code and
the typed in answer .

Well you did ask :-)

Yes, but why does it have to be in a text box?
