[Solved] Text area disabled, copy text?

[matthisco]

Hello,

Is it possible to have a text area or similar, which users can copy code from to their clipboard?

Can the text be fixed though so it cannot be changed by the user?

many thanks

You mean something like

<input type=text value="...Text..." readonly>

or

<textarea readonly>...Text..</textarea>

or just a normal paragraph? Btw, you may also copy a text to clipboard automatically:

Isn’t that just a div with text in it? Unless you set the text not to be selectable.

What would be the point of a textarea?

Thanks for the replies I just used the pre tag and styled that up instead.
