Disabling Copy/Paste in forms

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 30.2006

Hi,

I have a client who is wanting a form where you enter your email address twice as a form of confirmation of the address.
They have now requested that it should not be possible to copy the text from field 1 and paste it into field 2.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I’m thinking that text is text and so can be copied but i’d love to be wrong!

Thanks in advance.
James

2) Fortunately, it's not possible.

@jamesleslieauthorAug 30.2006 — great, thanks a lot. That was the answer i was hoping for. I had tried speaking about accessibility to them but they really don't listen to a word the professional web designer says again ;-)

Success!
