The following example shows a field that is set to be readonly:

   <field sid="readOnlyField">
      <value>You cannot type into this field.</value>
      <readonly>on</readonly>
   </field>

Default:
- XFDL: off.
- XForms: defaults to the readonly property for the data element to which the containing item is bound.
If an item has either the readonly option or the XForms readonly property set, then the item is readonly. For more information about the readonly property, refer toAvailable Properties.
The readonly setting permits users to scroll an item even though they cannot update the item's contents.
