disable text area?
can i check if i can disable the text entered by the user in a text area? hmm....let me give u an example of it. after the user has entered some text in the text area, i would like to disable the text in the text box.
so that the user can only view the text n cannot modify anything in the text area. but i would like it to be done in HTML format, or do u have a way to get it done?

As far as I know you can always modify what is written in a text area. What you can do, using JavaScript, is write the text from the text area to a page with something like this:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function writeText()
{
document.write(document.formname.textareaname.value)
}
//-->
</script>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="formname">
<textarea name="textareaname" rows="10" cols="60"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="Click Me" onClick=writeText()>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This will show what the user wrote on the page and they can't change it.
