[html] What's the difference between disabled="disabled" and readonly="readonly" for HTML form input fields?

Same as the other answers (disabled isn't sent to the server, readonly is) but some browsers prevent highlighting of a disabled form, while read-only can still be highlighted (and copied).

A read-only field cannot be modified. However, a user can tab to it, highlight it, and copy the text from it.
