Question

I have a HTML page.

I want to have a input box, that has a default value, that people can select, but not write over. It if for a share link to the page.

How can I do this?

EDIT: Using readonly=”readonly” works and satisfies the solution, but the mouse pointer becomes a stop sign. I have chosen to use pure text instead of putting the share link into an input box. A javascript/Jquery solution will be possible but I don’t use scripts on my website.

Answer 1

give input box readonly property like

 <input type="text" id="a" value="abc" readonly="readonly" />
