That doesn't seem to affect the HTML form output at all for me. I've also tried changing the widget to LABEL, but that results in the same problem with the value not being transmitted back via the form.
What I'd like to be able to do is set the readonly attribute of the input tag; but I don't know how to do that in this context, where I cannot insert code between the creation on the SQLFORM and the accepts call.
