Edit of a textfield

[Anon]

Hi all,

I wonder if we can set a text area be uneditable and how can it be done. I know that we have this property in Java, but I am not sure about it for PHP.

Thanks,
Van

ok, couple of ways to do this with javascript:

1)
<textarea onFocus="this.blur()"></textarea>

2)
<textarea onKeyDown="alert('This field is read only!')"></textarea>

or mix and match, combine, etc... good luck!
