*gasp* Thanx. I wonder why I can't find that attribute for text area on net!

That attribute is only valid for Internet Explorer. Better to use Javascript to do something like this:<br>
<br>
&lt;textarea onfocus=this.blur()&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;

Cool stuff. I agree that would be a better alternative. But ALL suggestions are good!

You are right, rycamor. I did not realize that it was a browser-specific attribute, but after testing, you are correct.<br>
