Summary0002521: Inputs with attributes "readonly" or "disabled" are rendered inconsitently
DescriptionInputs with type "text" are rendered greyed if they have the attribute "readonly" but not if they have the "disabled" attribute.

Inputs with type "checkbox" are never greyed even if they have one or both of these attributes. The same applies to type "radio".

For what it's worth, Chrome renders "disabled" inputs greyed out, whereas Firefox renders both "disabled" and "readonly" as greyed out. I don't think either of those browsers get it fully correct, as they both allows the user to change a "readonly" checkbox/radio.

I think the correct behaviour would be for both "readonly" and "disabled" input items to be greyed and not editable by the user?

According to that, our textbox behaviour has the readonly/disabled visual greyed out effect the wrong way round. I can also gain focus on, and edit, the disabled textbox, which is incorrect.

CI build 3983 makes disabled textboxes non-editable.

I've also switched the visual indication over so that disabled textboxes get greyed out (and read-only ones don't). I believe behaviour of textboxes is correct now.

Checkboxes and other form elements still need fixing to be uneditable and visually disabled.
