how do I prevent the user to change the value in an input field (which contains a certain value to be copied into the clipboard) without using disabled="true"? The text should be selected once the user clicks in the field (that's working already) but entering anything should have no effect.
Thanks
jQuery('input.autoselect[value]').focus(function() { jQuery(this).select(); });

The disabled attribute can be set to keep a user from using the <input> element until some other condition has been met (like selecting a checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript could remove the disabled value, and make the <input> element usable.
The Boolean readonly attribute, when present, makes the element not mutable, meaning the user can not edit the control. If the readonly attribute is specified on an input element, because the user can not edit the input, the element does not participate in constraint validation.
In jQuery by using blur() property we can remove focus from input textbox field.
The blur() method removes focus from an element.
readonly in the html of the input is all you need to prevent the user from editing the input.
<input readonly="readonly" type="text" value="You can't edit me!"/>
