Could you do:
<cfif iseditable>
<input type="text" name="field" value="#fieldvalue#">
<cfelse>
#fieldvalue#
<input type="hidden" name="field" value="#fieldvalue#">
</cfif>
An even cooler thing would be to use IE's "disabled" attribute, but
unfortunately that only works for IE 5 and up.
<cfif iseditable>
<input type="text" name="field" value="#fieldvalue#">
<cfelse>
<input type="text" name="field" value="#fieldvalue#" disabled>
</cfif>
I wish it worked for all browsers though. Being able to disable a form
control is a "good thing" as Martha Stewart would say.
