How to block users from inputing into a textbox?

[DrAsh]

1) I have a text box on my form. I do not want anyone to be able to write in it as it's a special text box. Text values taken from another part of the page will be inserted into that text box. I don't want the users to be able to manual fill in the box. At the same time, I have function in my page that will fill in that special textbox only if certain conditions are met (like they pass the test). I don't want them to manually enter text in themselves. That's cheating. Anyone know how?

Hi DrAsh,

Try this,

<input type=&quot;text&quot; value=&quot;something&quot; onFocus=&quot;this.blur();&quot;>

Try this:

<input type=&quot;text&quot; value=&quot;something&quot; Readonly>

You can change the value by programming, but the user can not input.
