"locate the 'name' section of the code modify with this" ????

Are there some simple find/replace instructions as the word name is repeated all over the template

(Surely this is just a template mod anyway?)

No worries, I worked it out

Here is a text file for anyone else having trouble

Moonclamp,

Nice job with the instructions. If you don't mind, I revised it by putting credit to you in it and put it with the initial post now that I know how to do it. No other changes. Hope this is okay.

Thanks to all of you who have 'shown me the way...' :squareeyed:

Nice template mod, although I'd rather use disabled="disabled" than readonly. Using this method, the visual feedback is already there without having to note that it's uneditable.. :)

So, exactly how would you change it then? ;)

swapping "readonly" with disabled="disabled" greys out the input while still keeping it read only

HOWEVER ... as I just discovered. When I just used "disabled" I got an error message "You entered an invalid email address."

1. Moved to Templated Modifications, as it is not a Code Hack
2. This breaks XHTML validity
3. It does not stop users from using faked input

In response to Moonclamp's using the attribute, the error message comes because of the difference between how it is handled over the 'readonly' attribute. The 'readonly' attribute still allows the parameters of the 'input' statement to be sent to the server when the form is submitted. Therefore, the input 'acts' like the type is 'hidden' vs. 'text'. When the disabled attribute is used, its parameters are NOT sent to the server thereby causing the error message, 'invalid email address'. The server never received the data.

In response to Andreas,
I'm not sure I understand. Can you explain, please?

For example, I'm not familiar with 'what' breaks XHTML validity since I haven't been working with it very long. Also, re: item 3, if the fields are 'readonly', how can the input be faked?

Thanks.

Question: What do we replace with what.

Download the file attached to the initial post (on the right-hand column under 'Mod Options'). It has instructions in a different format.
