In response to Moonclamp's using the

disabled="disabled"

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,

2. This breaks XHTML validity
3. It does not stop users from using faked input

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.
