[Javascript] READONLY textarea in Netscape

Hello,
This sounds like a simple question, but I haven't found the answer. Can 
anyone tell me how to make a textarea READONLY in Netscape? Something like 
<TEXTAREA READONLY> only works in IE. Is there any way to emulate this in 
netscape?

Basically I want to display information in an object that I can easily 
manipulate using JAvascript to display read only information dynamically. 
This information will be fed from other form from other pop-up windows. I 
don't want the user to be able to change this readonly information directly 
(that's way I want it to make it readonly). I though the best and easiest 
way would be to use textarea, until I encounter this problem. So, any 
suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
