Disabled or Readonly?

[PHP]
Disabled:
<INPUT disabled name="fred" value="stone">
[/PHP]

[PHP]
Readonly:
<INPUT readonly name="fred" value="stone">
[/PHP]

You can change this in Javascript with:

document.formName.fred.disabled = "False"
document.formName.fred.readonly = "False"

This funcionality is not consistient across all browsers though so test before you implement

Just be careful with it if you are using for cgi scripts or similar. It can be over-ridden , expecially if not compatible in all browsers.
If you are submitting the value to a script of some sort, make sure to validate at server end too.
