Hmm… I have not considered that checkboxes can look different on different browsers. I switch between Firefox and IE often – checkboxes look the same on both to my naked eyes.

 

To fill you in with the discussions – selectBooleanCheckbox will render as a html <input type=”checkbox”>, which ignores the readonly attribute. So semantically it is wrong to have the readonly attribute for selectBooleanCheckbox and selectManyCheckbox. Furthermore to make a checkbox readonly we have to specify enabled=false – and it grey out the checkboxes which I really hated.

Just out of curiosity, how would we handle different styles of checkboxes rendered by browsers (e.g. checkboxes in IE/XP with XP theme vs. classic theme just to mention one)? I’m not questioning the purpose of the thing, I have not followed that discussion, it’s just the implementation that I’m wondering about.

Following the recent discussions on the inconsistencies of the readonly attribute of selectOneCheckbox and selectManyCheckbox,  I like to make a simple proposal to fix the problem – by rendering a readonly checkbox with a look alike gif image.

 

I think this simple fix will make many people very happy. I have been wishing for something like this for years – and I think I am not alone.

 

Many thanks in advance, and cheers to myfaces contributors.

Yee
