yandso,
could you elaborate on "If you are not submitting it you could use a span or a div".
What I am doing is displaying data from a DB the background colour of the cell is "#CCCCCC" and what i am doing is putting the data into a textfield so that I can have the text against a different background.
If there is another way to do this I am quite willing to learn
Regards
Olly

If you plave the text in a span or div tag you could use style to make it look any way you want without the side effect of it being passed in whatever form your working on. If you don't need the data passed then you could just as easily place it in a span. Take for instnce this example which first has the user submit data then displays it back to them the same way to verify it:
So in this case they see thedataagain in about the same way they originally submitted it, but now it is non-editable because it is in div tags. Another option would be to place non-editable data in hidden inputs and display it in div's (if you need it on the next page). Assume for the moment that we have a form where we know the user information, need the user id on thenext page, but also want them to enter some new piece of data:
There we go, the user information is secure from being changed but follows the same look and feel throughout the form.
Ormaybe you want to make a table look like an excel spread sheet, so all the cells have to look alike, but some of them aren't editable:
I moved the style to a style section in the head this time so I wouldn't have to retype the longer style definitions, I tried to comment eveything to make it understandable (except where it repeated an earlier line).
Anyways, hope that provides some examples for you,
