iam uanble to pass the value $pid to somepage.php3

It seems that u r going wrong here :
somepage.php3?uid=$pid\" >
and on other page u r writing sql where uid = $pid.

See here u r sending uid and there u r reterving with pid.

just put ur sql = sql= "select * from client where uid='$uid' ";

As u r passing uid from this page not pid.

Hope this works

how to make the value of a text field avlue as non -editable
like i have
<input type=\"text\" value=\"$Comp\">
here $Comp is say 123
its value should not change
i tried using
<input type=\"text\" value=\"$Comp\" readonly>
but seems to be not useful
how to use <NOEDIT> tag?
any help in this direction would be apreciated

Hi Roopa

THere is nothing called NOEDIT tag.

Readonly works fine with IE. I am using IE and it works fine with it.
Please check it with IE. I am sure it works.

try it and Let me know...

there's a slightly better way:

if you want to display data that should ne non-editable but still readable, why not print it as it is, eg:

echo "You're logged in as: ".$username;

If you additionally want to pass the value in a form, use a hidden (invisible) input:

echo "<input type=hidden name=username value=\"$username\">";

alternatively you could use cookies or session variables in some cases.

THe case here is where textfield should be visible not hidden.

If not readonly then it can be done by using javascript.

store the value in some variable .

Onblur event of that text box just change the value of that textbox to the value of the variable.

Or the best is just On Onblur or onfocus event of that text box move the curson to next text field.

Hope this works
Thanks

in addition to the hidden input, print it out as text, that's proof for all browsers.

so you'll get the data both displayed, non-editable, and returned by your form for further processing.
