Steps to reproduce:

Specified a checkbox as 

  <input id="role_id0" type="checkbox" checked="checked"  readonly="readonly" value="0" name="role" />


Actual results:

Checkbox displayed as greyed out (presumably readonly), but it can still be unchecked when one clicks on it.


Expected results:

Checkbox should not alow one to change state.

Seems to me that the spec says we should ignore readonly on checkboxes.

I think the fact that the checkbox is greyed out is a bug, though.

Indeed.

So I have a patch that should fix that but it's assuming <input type='checkbox'> has :read-write applying instead of :read-only. I'm going to attach it here but I will wait to see how bug 715484 evolves before requesting a review.

I could probably add a test for disabled states too.

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months, so the assignee is being reset.
