I'm making a product demo site for a upcoming trade show. I want to create a field where I can type a name into the field. The information I type in won't do anything, I just want it to show the letters when they are entered. Can I do this will Visual Site Designer? Thanks.

Sure can. Start a new web site, or open an existing. Then select the HTML box icon on the left menu. Type this in...

<form action="demo_form.asp">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

You can then delete -- <input type="submit" value="Submit"> -- so there will be no submit button.

Preview and you should see the boxes. If you only want 1 box, delete the other..
