Is there any way to make a SELECT field in HTML as a read only field?
It is read-only by design, as far as i am aware. Perhaps you mean making it
impossible to alter the selected option(s). Then
<select onfocus="this.nextSibling.focus()">
works fine (if the next sibling is another form element).
<select onfocus="window.focus()">
makes the list flash open for a moment.
You realize that javascript will not available on many machines.
