Hi,

How do I go around making an input visible on a page but the user has no access to click it and change the data?

For example,
If I have an empty input on the page, the user inputs the data. Once they have input their data and saved the results to a database, if they view the same page again, they cannot edit their entry.

Thanks

Hey,

you can set the input field to read only by adding the readonly attribute.

PHP Code:

<input type="text" name="inputfield" value="defaultvalue" readonly="readonly" /> 


http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_readonly.asp

OR
<input type="text" name="inputfield" value="defaultvalue" disabled />

Or even:

<input type="text" name="input" value="You Can't Change Me!" readonly disabled />

For XHTML doctypes the attributes require a quoted value eg:

readonly="readonly"

and/or

disabled="disabled"

Put a readonly="readonly" attribute
