Question

how can i make a textfield read only in grails.

I tried with readonly attribute on textfield as below but its not working.

<g:textField name="fname" size="14px"  id="fname" value="${patient.fname}" readonly="true">

Answer 1

It does not allows readonly, try disabled="true"

Answer 2

If you use disabled="true" the value will not actually be submitted in the form, so the <g:field/> tag should be used.

For example,

<g:field type="text" name="name" readonly="readonly" value="${instance.?name}"/>

Answer 3

You can use readonly="readonly"
