listbox+disable the input data but to scroll through the data

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I have a listbox having 10 options.Now I want to disable the input data so they can’t edit anything but I still want them to scroll though the data so they can see the full set of data without going to edit mode which enables all the controls and which intern allows scrolling.

Any idea how to do this..through javascript?

Then they can see but not touch.

@gmmsk7authorMar 01.2005 — i have applied already 'disabled'. problem is I want to scroll though the data so they can see the full set of data.

@David_HarrisonMar 01.2005 — I'm afraid you can't disable the field AND still allow the user to scroll through, it's either disabled or it's not. There are a couple of possible JavaScript solutions that spring to mind but can you give a little bit more information about the situation so that I can determine which one would be best.

@gmmsk7authorMar 01.2005 — Thanks. I want to disable or you can say that option values are not editable i.e non clickable- the input datas(i.e options), so the users can't edit anything but I want them to scroll though the data so they can see the full set of data.

@David_HarrisonMar 01.2005 — OK, never mind, try this:&lt;select name="select" size="10" onfocus="temp=this.selectedIndex;" onchange="this.selectedIndex=temp;"&gt;
