   Hi

   I use my machforms for photography contracts. I have certain parts that I want the clients to fill in but I have standard clauses that I don't want them to change - is it possible to "lock" the fields that contain the standard clauses so that they cannot be edited by clients?

   Thanks in advance.

   @jilliandolby: In general, your users shouldn't be able to change any text in your form, except default choices you may have included in a text entry field. If you are using the text entry area of a paragraph field to enter long passages of text, there is a much better way to do this; use the section break field instead. Despite the name, the purpose of the section break field is to allow you to add arbitrarily long passages of constant, non-editable text to your form. If this answer isn't helpful, perhaps you could include a link to an example of your form, so we can see what you are trying to do.

   hi jilliandolby,

   I don't work for appnitro, but have you tried using jquery? if you add a css class - lets say you call it "locked" then you could do something like this:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.locked').attr('readonly', true);
   });
   </script>
   

   That will probably only really work if you're embedding the form via the PHP embed code. Also, i haven't tested the code, but you could do a google search for jquery readonly or jquery disable. Hope that helps.
