Will the readonly attribute not work?
<input type="text" readonly />
Or in JS, I think you can do element.readonly="readonly" but I'm not
sure if that is the correct way offhand.
I don't know why your focus event isn't working, post more code (use
pastie for large quantities) or a minimalistic test page if necessary.
