Well actually, the readonly="readonly" works! Try it!!! And there

(binding/saving) and I think something else I can't remember right

Sorry, but I really don't know what you're talking about. Is this 'readonly' in the binding? If so, what's the relation with the styling XSLs??
It is in the template file, <fi:styling> tag. I believe that readonly="readonly" simply gets passed along as an attribute to the "input" tag and is valid xhtml which the browser then interprets to be like disabled="disabled", but slightly different. Here's an example usage:
<ft:widget id="StatusMessage">
<fi:styling readonly="readonly" type="textarea" rows="4" cols="75" wrap="hard"
class="DocOrdersStatusMessage"/>
</ft:widget>
Again, I can't find it. If the forms/samples directory:
$ find . -type f | xargs grep readonly
./forms/binding/01value-bind.xml: <fb:value id="readonly" ./forms/binding/01value-def.xml: <fd:field id="readonly" >
The only "readonly" in the whole CForms samples (which include the XSLs) is the name of a widget.
Can you please give me the URL of the relevant file under http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/src/blocks/forms/
Anyway, inserting that small code segment in the source (see below) and then playing with the samples to disable the calendar widget will show you what I mean - and try readonly as a styling attribute to see that at work too. Then try disabling the calendar without my modifications and you'll notice that the date can be changed, even though the widget is disabled.
Again and again, there is no such "readonly" attribute. You can set the state of a widget to "disabled" which leads to something similar to what you describe: the input is readonly, and the calendar icon is still visible but disabled.
