Help on text Fields

Have you tried the disabled or readonly attribute?

<input readonly maxLength=7  type = text size=7 name="DB2887_1">

<input disabled maxLength=7  type = text size=7 name="DB2887_1">

THanks
it was working but my main concern is to display the result but now its coming in the bordered fields i want to display as follows:

First Name: Bill
Last Name : James
so on..
Thanks

The only solution I found when I had this problem it to use a javascript  :  this.blur();

<input maxLength=7 type=text size=7 name="DB2887_1" onClick="this.blur();">


It works with IE3+, NS6 and Opera   normally...


Hope that helps

you can say :
<input type="text" readonly="true" name="myButon1" id="field">
<input type="text" readonly="true" name="myButon2" id="field">


when the user presses the button to edit you can call a js function that removes the read only attribute:

for(i=0;i<field.length;i++)field[i].readOnly=false;

Sorry, my previous code didn's work

This time I used onFocus instead of onClick and improved the code a little

check this :-)

--------------------
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var editable = 0;
//-->
</script>

<input type="text" name="myButon1" id="field" onFocus="if (editable == 0) this.blur();">
<input type="text" name="myButon2" id="field" onFocus="if (editable == 0) this.blur();">

check to edit :
<input type="checkbox" onChange="editable = (this.checked)?(1):(0);">

The question is really not clear.
My solution work, but because sujan17 didn't answere I can't know if it's what she want or not.

I think you should't delete this question because there are some nice ideas about filed-locking

Cheers.

The solution was what corey said.
To finish what Sujan wanted, one could do
<input type="text" value="test" readonly style="border:none">
