Readonly textbox with scroll

Hello,
I am stuck with a problem trying to mimic the behavior of a Windows
Forms Readonly textbox in HMTL/ASP.NET.

Basically, I would like the text to be readonly and overflow the
textbox (overflow attribute) with the user being able to scroll thru
the text using the arrow keys within the textbox.

I managed to get the readonly and the overflow part to work but cannot
figure out a way to let the user place the cursor within the box and
allow scrolling within a readonly textbox.

Any help would be very appreciated....

Thanks
Kannan

Hi,

I think old good html will fit your needs:

<div
style="height:4 0px; width:40px; overflow-y:scroll; display:block;
border: 1px solid black">
aaaaa
bbbbb
ccccc
ddddd
eeeee
fffff
ggggg
</div>

Click inside and scroll with arrows...

This works in my IE 6, Netscape 7.2, Firefox 1.0.3:

textarea{
border: 2px solid brown;
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
}

<body>
<textarea readonly="true" enabled="true">
This is my textbox. This is my textbox. This is my textbox. This is my
textbox.....
</textarea>

I am having a hard time with this one, and I thought it would be easy. I have a datagrid in which I have textboxs for users to enter data. One of the fields in the database behind the datagrid tells me if the textbox is readonly or not.

Hi, I needed to make a TextBox on a DataGrid ReadOnly based on the condition of another cell on its row. I achieved this using a Custom Data Column Class "DacDGTextColLotNo" but I can't get the TextBox to display its value when you leave the TextBox. I figure that I need to use the SetColumnValueAtRow Method but I am struggling to understand how.

Hey guys... I have a form that asks for several dates. I tried using asp calendar controls to set values of the date textboxes which were readonly. I found this annoying since each time I advanced a month and/or selected any date, it posted back and refreshed the page. So, instead, I resorted to an old javascript function I use a lot. The javascript creates a pop up (html) window and sets the value of the textbox when the user picks a...

Please help. This is a real puzzler! Originally posted on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms but no answer found! I have a read-only textBox which shows the results of a selection on another form. When the selection changes from the saved data, I wish to show it a different colour. As it is read-only the ForeColor property has no effect.
