I am setting up a site where people will be updating a data file.
People will see their previous entries, they will have an <INPUT> box to
enter a new entry of text to the file, and there will be a SUBMIT and RESET
button at the bottom of the page.
I would like the SUBMIT and RESET buttons to always be at the same spot on
the page.
If however, there are many entries in the file, people will have to scroll
down a lot before clicking on SUBMIT.
I thought of using a TEXTAREA to display the previous entries. This way,
regardless of the number of entries, the TEXTAREA will always be the same
size and they will be able to scroll within the TEXTAREA.
This works great, but I don't want people to think that they can make
changes in the TEXTAREA and assume these changes will be made. In fact, I
wouldn't want previous entries to be updateable anyway.
Is there a way to LOCK the TEXTAREA for viewing only.
Is there a better tool to do this.
All information appreciated
