Hello all.

I would like to remove the texbox itself, and write the value to the page, and here's the kicker: where the textbox appears.Code:<input name="user_name" type="text" value="solitario">
Right now I'm using a ridiculous set of stripos, strrpos, etc., functions. But I was wondering if this could be done with JavaScript.
Many thanks.
