Can HTML checkboxes be set to readonly?

Question

I thought they could be, but as I'm not putting my money where my mouth was (so to speak) setting the read-only attribute doesn't actually seem to do anything.

I'd rather not use Disabled since I want the checked check boxes to be submitted with the rest of the form, I just don't want the client to be able to change them under certain circumstances.

Answer 1

you can try using the code given below:

<input type="checkbox" onclick="return false;"/>

The above code will work because if the click event returns false then the chain of execution will stop continuing.
