[Javascript] making <select> tags read only

[Rodney Myers]

Andrew,

I suppose that you mean that you set the select option and do not want
the user to change that.

If the setting of the selected option is represented by :

function setForm(form){
form.List3.selectedIndex=X; // X is a var set somehow
}

<SELECT NAME="List3" onchange="readOnlyElement(this)">



function readOnlyElement(Elem){
alert("This is read only");
setForm(Elem.form);
}
