[jQuery] input textbox no typing but still check available

[wesbird]

Hi,
  I have a input type=textbox in my page, this input have limit
width(80), but inside could be a long string(> 80), now I use
$("#myTextBox").attr("disabled", true);
to disable it so end user can not type anyting in side, which works
great. but I also like have end user put cursor inside and move cursor
to check the hide part. this does not work well.
  How I can make this work?


Thank you,

Wes
