Definition and Usage
The readonly attribute specifies that an input field should be read-only.
A read-only field cannot be modified. However, a user can tab to it, highlight it, and copy the text from it.
The readonly attribute can be set to keep a user from changing the value until some other condition has been met (like selecting a
checkbox, etc.). Then, a JavaScript is required to remove the readonly value, and make the input field editable.
The readonly attribute can be used with <input type="text"> or <input type="password">.
Browser Support
The readonly attribute is supported in all major browsers.
