What is the difference between the readonly and disabled?

The difference between disabled and readonly is that read-only controls can still function and are still focusable, whereas disabled controls can not receive focus and are not submitted with the form and generally do not function as controls until they are enabled.

Are readonly inputs submitted?

Note: A form will still submit an input field that is readonly, but will not submit an input field that is disabled!

Can forms be disabled?

Browsers display disabled form controls greyed as disabled form controls are immutable, won't receive focus or any browsing events, like mouse clicks or focus-related ones, and aren't submitted with the form.

How do I make a text field non editable in HTML?

The readonly attribute makes a form control non-editable (or “read only”). A read-only field can't be modified, but, unlike disabled , you can tab into it, highlight it, and copy its contents. Setting the value to null does not remove the effects of the attribute. Instead use removeAttribute('readonly') .
