Disabling a text filed using XHTML-MP

Hi All,
I am very new to XHTML-MP. I am developing a wireless application using XHTML-MP. I have a simple requirement of disabling a text field. For example I have used following piece of code to disable a text field:

<input name = "depot" value = "<%= depot %>" disabled = "disabled" />

But this is not working and still i can able to edit the text field.
So can any one tell me what could be the reason for this and how can i solve my problem?

Any information will be a great help.

You have the doc type on the page also?

Thanks for the reply.

I am using doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">

When i include this doctype in my document it showes :
Error in opening external DTD "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"

So how can i use this .dtd file in a doctype without any error?
Is it possible to download and save this .dtd file on application server side and give relative/absolute path in my doctype declaration??

Can you please guide me in this?

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!
