How to prevent changes to CheckBoxList

Meerkat

Hello.
Can anyone tell me if there is ANY way to prevent the user changing
the values in a checkboxlist. I just want to use it for information
only. Disabling it is not an option as it results in a unacceptable
gray color.

Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Use a bit of javascript in the onChanged property, and set it back to it's
checked property every time.

Hello Rajesh,

Your suggestion looks to be just the sort of thing I am looking for.
( i.e. simple) However, could I impose on your kindness a little
more and ask exactly where do I put the code that you suggest.
Is it in the code behind or the html? and what is the exact syntax.
I have tried all sorts of things but failed miserably.

Many thanks in anticipation,

Meerkat.
