text area?

[dadamssg]

i want something like the <text area> tag where i can set the size of the box and it will have a scroll bar on the side if the input is larger than the designated size. The problem with the text area tag is that you can put your cursor in there and change the input...i don't want that. any html gurus out there?

You can use css to style a div with a scrollbar

<style>
div.scroll {
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px solid #666;
background-color: #ccc;
padding: 8px;
}
</style>
<div class="scroll"></div>
