readonly elements

Hmm, deform's own readonly templates have no styling that makes elements look like form fields. Maybe I need to understand the use case here?

@dnouri while you're of course right with this, I like the idea of having readonly fields within a form rendered as "uneditable" form fields.

FWIW I either have a form with inputs that can be editable or not, or I have a view without [de]form at all. IOW: I use deform with forms only, whereas deform's readonly templates have little to nothing to do with forms.

Others' mileage may vary of course…

Well, I think it's mostly stylistic. If you just use the default templates than the text doesn't line up with the label when using the default horizontal form layout. It's just not... er.. "bootstrappy" ^_^ The sample I gave is from http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/base-css.html#forms under "Uneditable inputs".

@disko I'm using deform with ColanderAlchemy. There's cases where I'd like to display the value for the primary key of the object the person is viewing without letting them view it. The readonly field is the most convenient.
