Hi all, In a basic html form, how do I protect an input of type "text? I have tried <input type="input" readonly name=..." but with no luck, and I have moved the "readonly" keyword around and even tried "readonly="true"" but all with no luck. I am using a Braillenote. Am I doing it wrong, or am I getting it right but my notetaker is not interpreting the readonly keyword?
