I can't get Readonly or Enabled to work in Netscape 4.7 for a textbox.

I created a very simple aspx page with 2 textbox's and then set the
readonly=t and enabled=F properties.

In Netscape 4.7 it didn't work.

aspx page below
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/nav4-0";>
</HEAD>
<body MS_POSITIONING="FlowLayout">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<P>read only
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" ReadOnly="True">
</asp:TextBox></P>
<P>enabled
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox2" runat="server" Enabled="False">
</asp:TextBox></P>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Text = "readonly " & TextBox1.ReadOnly.ToString
TextBox2.Text = "enabled " & TextBox2.Enabled.ToString
End Sub

Netscape 4.7 rendering below
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<P>read only
<input name="TextBox1" type="text" value="readonly True"
readonly="readonly" id="TextBox1" />
</P>
<P>enabled
<input name="TextBox2" type="text" value="enabled False" id="TextBox2"
disabled="disabled" />
</P>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>

Chuck,

Unfortunately, that's because there is no such property in Netscape 4.7.
Instead, to create a read-only textarea, you need to add some workaround
code. You can use style tags to make the background color gray, and then
use a Javascript event handler to deflect clicks, e.g.
onFocus="window.focus()".
Of course you may be stuck using a regular HTML input tag instead of a
textbox if you need to do this, since the textbox control doesn't appear to
have a method for adding attributes. Then again, you could always build a
custom control :)

Regards,

Peter
