[javascript] Setting the Textbox read only property to true using JavaScript

I find that document.getElementById('textbox-id').readOnly=true sometimes doesn't work reliably.

Instead, try:

document.getElementById('textbox-id').setAttribute('readonly', 'readonly') and document.getElementById('textbox-id').removeAttribute('readonly').

A little verbose but it seems to be dependable.
