title: Can HTML make a textarea "readonly" in Internet Explorer?
body: <p>I have a form that uses javascript to populate a textarea with some text.  The user should be able to copy the text, and I've used the code below to make the textarea readonly.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea readonly id="newList" name="newList" placeholder="When you click 
   the button below, your list appears here.  Copy and paste it into your 
   new document. Use CTRL-A to quickly select all items."&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Works great in Chrome, but in IE10 the textarea is STILL not readonly, and when a user clicks in it the text that they want to copy disappears, replaced by the cursor.  It has nothing to do with my javascript -- I removed the "script" line from my HTML and this still happens.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to make a textarea readonly in Internet Explorer?</p>
