Text area issue

[rakennedy75]

This might be more of a javascript/html question. In my database I have options loading into a textarea component (html). The only problem I have with this is that the user can delete options either on purpose or by accident. Is there a way i can lock the textarea so it can only be used for display and no editing features to it.

The code is probably not needed but here it is in case:

	

       echo "<textarea name='textarea' cols='40' rows='15'>";
        for($i=$indexOptions; $i<=$strCount; $i++)
          {
              	if($break[$i] != "")
          	    {		
          		        echo "&bull;";
		                     echo $break[$i];
		                     echo "\n";
              	}
          }

          echo "</textarea>";

Thanks for your time.

Set it to readonly.

<textarea readonly cols="50" rows="5">blah</textarea>

and I thought I knew html. I guess I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the help. I expected some kind of javascript focus function. I appreciate your time
