That isn't done with CSS... You should add "READONLY" parameter, like this:

<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="bla bla" READONLY>

BTW This doesn't work in NN4.

Readonly? I remember once using "disabled" - maybe readonly doesn't grey it out.

Try both. Remember they won't work in NN4. In that, you can use visibility=hidden if you're desperate, probably.

Yes, there's also a DISABLED parameter, and it will grey out the input field...

<INPUT> tag reference

What would one do to DYNAMICALLY set the READONLY?

Wow, I'm drawing this knowledge from, I think, the second javascript program I ever wrote... (see "Gladiator" in http://www.karl.nu/slime/original/games.html , but this disabled button thing we're talking about has been removed since I started the game, like, 2 years ago. Woah, almost 3. Eesh.)

I'm pretty sure document.myform.textboxname.disabled = true; worked, in IE at least.

<FORM NAME="maxForm"><INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="bla bla bla" NAME="maxInput"></FORM>

// readonly
document.maxForm.maxInput.readOnly = true; // "readOnly" part is case-sensitive!

// disable
document.maxForm.maxInput.disabled = true;

BTW Dynamically changing readonly & disabled state is not possible in Opera 5.

thanks guys! it also worked with the attribute
