Text area 1

[gms27]

Hi there,


Is there a way to make a text area uneditable in a browser? When i click on it online im able to erase / write and i dont want that.
The goal is to create a scroll box because the text is enormous.

I hope someone can help me

Thanks

If you don't want it to be editable don't use a textarea. Textareas are designed to be editable.

To create a non editable scroll area, use a <DIV> instead. with specified dimensions, and the overflow attribute set to Auto or scroll.

<div style="width:250px; height:250px; overflow:scroll;>
Lots of text here.....
</div>
