In a form I use a date-field with a calendar-popup-window, which enters the correct date-format into that date-field. I would like to protect the date-field, so users cannot enter data themselves. Anyone know how to do this? And preferrably not ie-only.

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you, but could you not just use hidden input fields instead?

Well, for feedback purposes, it might be useful to show the displayed as well, no?

You can use the readonly attribute, like this:

<input type="text" readonly="readonly" value="Your Value" id="txtDate">

This way, a user can no longer change the text, but you can still access it with JavaScript.

Note that readonly is not supported on all browsers....

Cheers,

Everyone is unique, except for me.

Set readonly attribute:
In IE and maybe some newer Mozillas you can set DISABLED instead, there is a difference, you can focus on read only boxes.
or use a div or a span, if the data is submitted to another page use a hidden field as well.

Perfect! Readonly does exactly what I need. Thanks a lot!!!
