 * Hi,
 * Great form plugin, it’s really easy to use.
 * However, I have a need to include a read-only text area where I would like to
   place a license agreement that the user must agree to before submitting. The 
   license is very long, so putting it in as a note is not ideal.
 * Is this something that can already be done, and if not, is it something that 
   you would consider adding into the plugin?
 * Thanks,
    Josh

 * My first thought is that you could put the license agreement on another page,
   and just have a link to it on the form. That being said, what if you could specify
   a size for the ‘note’, and anything larger would cause it to have a vertical 
   scrollbar?

 * hoffcamp: I don’t think it is possible to have a link within the form, and I 
   do not know of any way to specify the size, or style of the “note” item.

 * Ah.. I guess I left out some important details. For the link, you would have 
   to put an actual HTML link into the note, and check the ‘HTML’ box. HTML links
   are easy, and [this](http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp) is a good 
   description of how they work.
 * For the size / scrollbars, I was thinking of adding that as a feature, if that
   would suit your needs, since it seems like something that would be generally 
   useful.

 * Ah, thanks for the explanation. Ok, I used a link in a note, and that works, 
   but I do think it would be generally useful to be able to include a read-only
   text area, however you chose to implement that functionality ( as a note, etc).
 * Thanks for your quick response!
