I want one scrollable text area which is disabled.Means user can scroll to see the contents of the text area but will not be able to edit it.
A:
the easiest way would be to use "readonly" instead.
another way would be to use a fixed-height div will overflow:scroll that looks like a textarea but isn't.

A:
<textarea readonly="true"></textarea>
just use readonly property
Update:
<textarea readonly>Some text</textarea>

The `realonly` *attribute* accepts one, and only one, value — `realonly`. `true` is not acceptable.

@David Dorward : it's `readonly` but +1 anyway ;)

Ooops. Typo :) (a) W3Schools is crap. (b) It happens to be OK here, it lists one value — `readonly`, not `true`, not `1`, not `yes` just `readonly`. The example uses `readonly` and the word `true` doesn't appear anywhere on the page.

+1 for W3Schools. And, yeah, you can even write `readonly="false"` and would still be true :)

I think you need to know the readonly property.

A:
Why use a <textarea> if user can't edit it ?
A simple <div> would do the trick with fixed height and overflow:auto;
