From: Greg Maxey on
I am not sure if this is the correct forum or not.

I use FrontPage to manage my personal website and I am one step above a
novice. On several of my pages I post rather lengthy clips of VBA code. I
would like to display this code in some sort of fixed sized text field where
visitors could scroll to read or select and copy the text.

I have found on the Insert menu a Form>Insert Text Area control that almost
suit the bill if I could only figure out how "lock" it so that the content
cannot be altered by visitors. Can this be done or is there a more
appropriate type of control to use for my purpose.

Thank you.

Use a text-area - but why bother to lock it?
If the text area is not within a form changing the contents is only going to
affect the user - not your website. Users can change the code after they
paste it into their applications anyway.

When inserting the text area into the page remove the <form ...> and </form>
tags that go with it to disable any chance of submitting the field back to
the website.

The text area can be made read-only:

<textarea name="TextArea1" style="width: 600px; padding: 5px;"
readonly="readonly" rows="10">code goes here</textarea>

Ronx,

Thanks. I will give that a try.

Ronx,

I suppose that I can make this work, but it seems combersome to work with.
Is is possible to insert the text area as you have shown but then be able to
paste in text while I am in designe mode? As it is, I am putting in the
text using the code view:
