put disabled in the tag:

e.g

<input name="namehere" type="checkbox" disabled value="somevalue" />

I don't remember how, but with javascript you can disable form elements.  I just don't remember exactly how to disable them.

 

Ah here it is

 

http://www.codetoad.com/javascript/enable_disable_form_element.asp

Something like that, if not google

"Disable form elements with javascript"

That'll work too, I didn't know about that.

put disabled in the tag:

e.g

<input name="namehere" type="checkbox" disabled value="somevalue" />

You've "escaped" the closing tag of input which is XHTML so if you're actually intending to use XHTML you should give disabled a value of itself:

<input name="namehere" type="checkbox" disabled="disabled" value="somevalue" />
