read only property for checkbox

Question

Is there a read only property for a checkbox? Because I can still tick on the checkbox even if I have this code, is the read only property only for text box? What's the code if you want the check box to be read-only?

<td><input name="stats1" type="checkbox" id="SSS" readonly="readonly" value="<?php echo $row["STAT"]; ?>" <?php echo $row["STAT"] ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?> >SSS</td>

Answer 1

Try disabled="disabled" instead ;)

Answer 2

The readonly attribute on HTML input elements actually means that the value is readonly.

You actually want to make a checkbox uncheckable, in that case grab Javascript:

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