<p>Though <abbr>HTML</abbr> 4.0’s definition of <code class="attribute">readonly</code> implies that checkboxes and radio buttons may be set read‐only (and no errata has changed the definition), <code class="attribute">readonly</code> is meant only for <code class="value">text</code> or <code class="value">password</code>.</p>
<p>In a <a href="http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#readonly">working draft of the Web Forms 2.0 standard</a>, <abbr>WHAT</abbr> Working Group clarifies, <q cite="http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#readonly">Specifically, it does not apply to radio buttons, check boxes, file upload fields, select elements, or any of the button types; the interface concept of <q>readonly</q> values does not apply to button‐like interfaces.</q> Also, the <a href="glossary#dom" rel="glossary">Document Object Model</a> level 2 standard describes the associated <code>readOnly</code> method as <q cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20030109/html.html#ID-88461592">Relevant only when <code class="attribute">type</code> has the value “<code class="value">text</code>” or “<code class="value">password</code>”.</q></p>
