I have had this same problem and have resolved it by using the onfocus event
as follows:

<input name="myinput" onFocus="myinput.blur()">

You can still put in the readonly attribute for IE if you like.

Our Problem

"When using IE4 or 5 you can use "disabled" in the input line to have the
field grayed out so that the user can see what was entered but can not
change it.

I have tried to find a way for this to work in Netscape, but I have been
unsuccessful. Any hints???

Is there a book that shows the HTML TAGS supported by IE and NETSCAPE and
shows the tags that are NOT compatible for each?
