1 you can write the value of a readonly <input> element with javascript

2 you cannot change the readonlyness of an <input> element with javascript

3 however, you can use "disabled" to your advantage.

<input id=x disabled>

<script type="text/javascript">
 var x = document.getElementById('x')
 x.value = 'hi world'
 alert(x.disabled)
 x.disabled = false
</script>

Do not mess with focus() to restrain the user!
