What's the difference between disabled=“disabled” and readonly=“readonly” for HTML form input fields?

Question

I have read a bit on this, but I can\'t seem to find anything solid about how different browsers treat things.

Answer 1

No events get triggered when the element is having disabled attribute.

None of the below will get triggered.

$("[disabled]").click( function(){ console.log("clicked") });//No Impact
$("[disabled]").hover( function(){ console.log("hovered") });//No Impact
$("[disabled]").dblclick( function(){ console.log("double clicked") });//No Impact

While readonly will be triggered.

$("[readonly]").click( function(){ console.log("clicked") });//log - clicked
$("[readonly]").hover( function(){ console.log("hovered") });//log - hovered
$("[readonly]").dblclick( function(){ console.log("double clicked") });//log - double clicked
