Not editable text field

Question

I am new to YII , I am wondering if a text field in YII can make it inaccessible for editing. If yes, then someone can answer. I do the following way.

 <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'first_name'); ?> <?php echo $form->textField($model,'first_name',array('setEnabled' => false)); ?> 

This does not work.

Answer 1

Use readonly instead :

 <?php echo $form->textField($model,'first_name',array('readonly' => true)); ?> 

---

To not blink, select the disabled attribute :

 <?php echo $form->textField($model,'first_name',array('disabled' => true)); ?>

Both behave differently, so be sure to check this out.
