Thanks for the input again Adrian. I've hit a potential policy snag and thought it wise to discuss before continuing. I'd like to hear from anyone with 2 cents. :) At present, readonly form fields are limited to only <input> tags. So our poor <select> doesn't have the ability to join its elite counterparts. Why it is the readonly attribute is being used in the input tags rather than just showing the data without using a form element tag? My reasoning is this: if a form element is used, including hidden, it opens up that form to abuse through edited forms. In addition, would it not be better to have a uniform readonly element generated? I realise this would then prevent those fields from being sent back to the server. However, in the end it is more secure. Module changes required are relatively trivial since they have ready access to values currently in the database.
