> This adds the possiblity to set TCEForm items to read-only. The fields
> should display the data like the editable variants (date rendered as date -
> not as integer).
> You can imagine that "readonly" might be set at runtime without the need to
> change the type of the field.
> It is implemented by setting form elements disabled="disabled" which works
> in Mozilla, IE, Konqueror. Some fields were just renered as type="none".
> And sometimes parts are simply not rendered (eg. element browser link).
> Hidden form fields for submitting form values are not rendered.
>
> The solution <input disabled="disabled" is not totally safe but hey, I can
> manipulate POST data anyway when I really want ...

> 	"config" => Array (
> 		"type" => "input",
> 		"readonly" => 1, #####
> 		"size" => "8",
> 		"max" => "20",
> 		"eval" => "date",
> 		"default" => "0",
> 		"checkbox" => "0"

> Description
> 	If set the form field will be rendered in a way that the user can see the
> values but can't edit them. The rendering is similar to the editable
> variants but not neccesarily the same and might differ in layout and size.
