READONLY
Optional
When the READONLY attribute is present, the
TEXTAREA element cannot be edited on the page by
the user (although scripts can modify the content). A
TEXTAREA marked as READONLY
should not receive focus within the tabbing order (although IE 4 for
the Macintosh allows the field to receive focus).
<TEXTAREA NAME="instructions" READONLY></TEXTAREA>
The presence of the attribute sets its value to
true.
