Basically you're looking to disable the textarea element. Check out the =
=
"disabled" attribute in the html4 specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-disabled
You'd use it like this:
<textarea disabled=3D"disabled" ...>
But that's only the first step. Although the text can't be edited in the=
=
page, there's nothing preventing a malevolent visitor from editing it =
elsewhere and submitting the changed text to the form handler.
Thus in your form handler you also must make sure not to include this =
textarea. If you need the text, include it in your form handler (a secon=
d =
time, since you already included it in the form) but don't read it from =
=
the textarea.
Hope this helps!
