@NogDogMay 23.2005 — #Use the textarea option if it is part of a form containing read-only data to be submitted as part of that form. Otherwise use the styled div option using "overflow:" with either the "auto" or "scroll" option (more info at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#overflow ).@NogDogMay 23.2005 — #
To clarify, I'm not so much concerned with whether you [i]can[/i] use a textarea outside a form. I guess I just feel it's more semantically meaningful if you don't. The specification of the textarea element [i]is[/i] in section 17 of the 4.01 spec., which happens to be entitled "Forms". But I ain't gonna lose any sleep if anyone uses it outside a form, though I see no reason to do so. ?
Text Box
Is there anyway to get a scrolling textbox that is read only? so the person cant modify wats in it?
