Body
I know that input elements are made read-only by applying the <code>readonly</code> boolean attribute, and being an attribute it is not affected by CSS. On the other hand, my scenario seems to be a very good fit for CSS, so I was hoping there is some kind of a CSS trick to let me do it. I have a printable version hyperlink on my form. Clicking it displays a ... printable version of the document. It is mostly CSS stuff, my print.css looks like this: <pre><code>html.print { width: 8.57in; } .print body { font: 9pt/1.5 Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0 1in; overflow: auto; } .print #header, .print #footer { display: none; } .print .content { background-color: white; overflow: auto; } .print .fieldset > div.legend:first-child { background: white; } .print ::-webkit-input-placeholder { /* WebKit browsers */ color: transparent; } .print :-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */ color: transparent; } .print ::-moz-placeholder { /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */ color: transparent; } .print :-ms-input-placeholder { /* Internet Explorer 10+ */ color: transparent; } .print .check-mark { display: inline; } .print input[type=checkbox] { display: none; } .print .boolean-false { display: none; } </code></pre> There are also a few javascript pieces, such as: <ul> <li>Adding the <code>print</code> class to the html element</li> <li>Displaying tables without scroll bars</li> <li>A few other minor things, like hiding any popup overlays.</li> </ul> My current problem is input fields. They should be read-only, however, I have no idea how to do it with minimum changes to the code. CSS could be a perfect solution. Any ideas?

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
