What you probably mean is a widget that renders a form field, that is read-only. Please note that widgets are not limited to form fields and control elements. You can use widgets for all things that get rendered through HTML/CSS/JavaScript, for example, a link list in the sidebar, google ads, images and so on... As to your question, just put a texteara with the "readonly" attribute and an id in your widget's template and a button with an id too. To the latter you can then attach a JavaScript 'onclick' event function that toggles the 'readOnly' attribute of the DOM object corresponding to the textarea. You can attach that function directly in your template via the 'onclick' attribute, or, not so obtrusive, in a window 'onload' handler or even better with a DOMContentLoad event handler (see http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2006/06/again/ for an explanation of the issue). Then attach the JavaScript to the widget via the 'javascript' attribute and TurboGears will automatically include it on the page. I am too lazy to show you some code right now, but if you need help to implement this, give us a shout.
