Forget that. What you need is to set the disabled property to true:
Disabled box:<input type="text" name="w_text2" value="Disabled"
disabled="true">
In theory at least setting the tabindex property to 0 should prevent the
box ever getting focus, but it doesn't seem to work (on Moz or IE):
Input box:<input type="text" name="w_text1" tabindex="1" value="">
Disabled box:<input type="text" name="w_text2" value="Disabled"
tabindex="0">
Input box:<input type="text" name="w_text3" tabindex="2" value="">
causes the focus to move from the first box to the third, OK so far, but
hitting TAB when the third box has focus moves the focus to the Disabled
box - wierd.
