jim.davidson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have a update form and I have a field in that form that I want to display bot not allow the user to update. I've been searching and everywhere says to use javascript. I'm not very good with java a could use some guidance. Here's the filed that I want as read only <input value="<?php echo $display_date_written; ?>" name="date_written" type="text" class="text_background" id="date_written" size="10" maxlength="10" /> How would I code this? Thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100209-need-a-read-only-form-field/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
