Textarea tag

Hello,
Is it possible to create a "Read-Only " Textarea ?
At the moment I use "this.blur()" to disallow to write in it, but it also
prevents the possibility to copy text from the textarea.

Thanks for help.

Why? What is the point of having an element to allow users to input
multiline data if you then don't allow them to type in to it?

You are probably looking for something along the lines of:

<div style="width: 40em; height: 8em; overflow: scroll; font-family:
monospace; border: outset #aaa 0.5ex;">...</div>

Yes here you go:

<textarea name="?" cols="?" rows="?" readonly="readonly">Put your
message here</textarea>

Or if you are not using xHTML:

<textarea name="?" cols="?" rows="?" readonly>Put your message
here</textarea>
