Obsfucation is not security.

What's to stop someone opening up the dev window of a web browser and disabling/editing the CSS file?

Besides, Q needs access to the name field by default (and personally I would just keep appending my name to the bottom of my posts if the name field was disabled).

JavaScript for disabling email:

document.getElementsByName("email")[0].style.display = "none";

CSS selector:

input[type="email"]

{

display:none;

}

You're welcome. Leave the name field in please (maybe just append 'optional' to the name field?).

To specify a placeholder attribute (as we cannot write directly to the label) using JavaScript:

document.getElementsByName("name")[0].placeholder = "Optional";

Note, both this and the prior code assume there is only one name="email" and name="name" element, and that it's the first element in the list.
