Hey,

HTML has a couple of sttributes available to make controls uneditable. You can eitther make them read-only, or disable them.

HTML

<input type="text" name="address" value="123th First Street" readonly="readonly" />

Or to disable the textbox :

<input type="text" name="address" value="123th First Street" disabled="disabled" />

For myself, i like to disabled controls in stead of making them read-only because the difference is more obvious on various devices, but ofcourse this choise is yours.

Good luck!

my problem is i have to make page eadonly for some user but for some user like admin it has to be in read write state.

Then check which user is logged in before you render the page and either make the fields read-only or not. There is no way to make an entire page read-only.
