If not, you can have your textbox watch for any keyboard strokes, and return null each time. Not sure exactly how that would be coded, but it's not easy. I've done something similar, but a LONG time ago.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a simple form setup and I'm using PHP to read the form and send the data to a text file. &nbsp;I only want the user to able to modify a few of the fields. &nbsp;The rest I've set to have values. &nbsp;I want to set my page up so that the user can not modify the fields that already have values. &nbsp;Here's what I tried:<br />
<br />
&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;Field1&quot; size=&quot;30&quot; maxlength=&quot;2&quot; value=&quot;H0&quot; id=&quot;Field1&quot; disabled /&gt;<br />
<br />
The disabled prevents the user from entering anything into the field and the field still shows my value of H0. &nbsp;However, PHP doesn't see any text in the field and therefore does not store anything to my text file.<br />
<br />
So is there a simple CSS/JS script I could use to stop users from entering characters into specific fields?

Disabling changes to a form field

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
