Display the data in the text box but not allow the user to edit it?
Is it possible to diable a textbox so the user can't edit the value or copy it? I want to be able to display the data in the text box (from the database) but not allow the user to edit it. How can I do this?

place this in the tag
readonly="readonly"
like so:
<?phpecho stripslashes($description);
?>

Thanks, can the stripslashes be used in asp? I have fields the user enters data into and sometimes if they put too many //// it gives an SQL error, how can I make these inputboxs SQL injection proof etc? is the stripslashes a way of doing this?
Is there a way to do this without javascript? like using a label?

Sorry I do not know asp
stripslashes is from the database, addslashes would be to enter into database, but thats php
a label just labels the field, readonly isn't javascript, other option is just plain ole text

You could also use:
... disabled="disabled" ...instead of the readonly option, although I've never understood the difference.
