Make copied fields inactive

I have a multi-page form in which several fields repeat at the top of each page. I used the same name to accomplish this; however, I am wondering if it is possible to make just the copied fields inactive so it takes them out of the tab order and you can't edit the copied versions. Right now, if I make them copies read-only, it makes the original field read-only as well.

As calculation of the copied field use this:

event.value = this.getField(" original ").value;

Change the name of the copied versions.

But then it wouldn't copy the original field then, correct? I'd still like the content to be copied, just don't want the copied fields active or editable
