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? Confused

place this in the tag

readonly="readonly"

like so:

<?php
 echo stripslashes($description); 
?>

<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me Smiling "); } ?>

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

<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me Smiling "); } ?>
