hi jlynch1,
There are 2 HTML ways:
1) <input type="text" disabled>
makes the text grey if you have a value in it
<input type="text" disabled value="grey text">
2) <input type="text" readonly>
The javascript way is:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="Disab()">
<script language="javascript">
function Disab()
{
document.webform2.t1.disabled = true
}
</script>
<form name="webform2"><br>
<input type="text"name="t1"><br>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You can reset the disabling with document.webform2.t1.disabled = false
Hope this helps,
