A VBScript Question...

**Phobic** · Jan 15th, 2000, 03:49 AM

Using 'Document.Write', I can get something displayed on a webpage, but it clears the webpage completely. Is there anyway to preserve the webpage and add info to it? Also, is there a way to have a text box that the user cannot input data to?

Try:

Thanks, but I still can use the "document.write" without clearing everything that's already on the page. How do I fix this?

Example:

Code:

&lt;HTML&gt;
&lt;HEAD&gt;
&lt;TITLE&gt;Hello world.&lt;/TITLE&gt;
&lt;/HEAD&gt;
&lt;BODY BGColor=#000000 Text=#FF0000&gt;
This is a test
&lt;FONT Face=Tahoma Size=5 Color=#00FF00&gt;
&lt;Script Language="VBScript"&gt;
    document.write("Hello world.")
&lt;/Script&gt;
&lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;/BODY&gt;
&lt;/HTML&gt;

This example does NOT clear away all the text!

If you want your user not to input data, why to use a Text Box???????

1- Use a label instead, you can set BackColor etc. to resemble a Text Box

2- Put a TextBox but set "enabled" property to false

3- Put a TextBox and set "locked" property to true

4- Put a label on top of your Text Box with that caption:
"FORBIDDEN TO INPUT DATA HERE! - SEVERE PUNISHMENTS!"

By text box, I meant a webpage textbox. NOT a VB text box... monkey...

As far as I know, the only form elements which the user cannot edit are hiddens. If you need the box to be seen, maybe you could replicate the look of a text box using a single cell table? It might take a bit of trial and error to get it look right, but it's the only way I can think of.
