[Javascript] READONLY textarea in Netscape

[Mark Christie]

That's because it should be:
<TEXTAREA onFocus="this.blur()">

Sorry for the previous error, I misread my reference...

Thanks all for the replies. Although none of them worked, I got the idea :).
<TEXTAREA onFocus="self.blur()"> make other windows suddenly actives.. 
don't know why.
<TEXTAREA onFocus="window.focus()"> does n't do anything for me .... don't 
know why either.
DISABLE and READONLY also don't work.

So, this is what I do
<TEXTAREA onFocus="document.formName.OtherSubmitButton.focus()">
since I have another submit button. It works like a charm.

Thanks again for the suggestion.
