The readOnly
property of the HTMLInputElement
interface indicates that the user cannot modify the value of the <input>
. It reflects the <input>
element's readonly
boolean attribute; returning true
if the attribute is present and false
when omitted.
Unlike a form control with a true disabled
property, a true readOnly
property value does not prevent the user from clicking or selecting in the control.
While the HTML readonly
attribute is ignored if the type is hidden
, range
, color
, checkbox
, radio
, file
, submit
, reset
, button
, and image
, the readOnly
property is true
for these input types if the attribute is present, false
otherwise.
A boolean.
Examplesconst inputElement = document.getElementById("total");
console.log(inputElement.readOnly);
inputElement.readOnly = true;
