Add readonly attribute dynamically to input tag

[upersson]

Hi!

When accessing my web page I build up the javascript and html
dynamically. Depending on an parameter I want to set all the fields
(input tags) readonly. How do I do this? Of course I can write if
statements to add different input tags with and without the readonly
attribute. But is it possible to write a javascript that onload search
the page and add readonly to all input tags?

function denyReadingPrivilegesToTextInputs(form){
var f=form.length;
while(f--){
if(form.elements[f].type=="text"){
form.elements[f].readOnly=true;
}
}
}

Note "readOnly" property, it's case sensative.

That should be, of course:

function denyWritingPrivilegesToTextInputs(form)
