How can I write a text box in the grail only?

Question

how can i make a text field read only in grails.

I tried using the readonly attribute in the text box as shown below, but it doesn't work.

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

Answer 1

It does not allow reading only, try to disable = "true"

Answer 2

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

For instance,

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

Answer 3

readonly = "readonly"
