Well its possible, but it may not be worth the trouble. You can use the onKeyPress event handler to capture the event and return false, thus preventing the user from writing over it. <br><br>Another solution would be to use the onFocus to move the focus to another form element.<br><br><A HREF="mailto:jared@aauser.com">jared@aauser.com</A>

The second is better... to see exactly what the code would be, you can take a look at the FAQ I wrote in the HTML/DHTML section. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=
