Make checkbox and a textbox Readonly

Question

Following is my javascript code,is there a way to make checkbox and textbox readonly?

//display textboxes and checkbox when condition is true.
if($$("id").value =="something"){
       document.getElementById("textboxl").style.display="";
        document.getElementById("chkbox1").style.display="";
        document.getElementById("textbox2").style.display="";
        document.getElementById("chkbox2").style.disable="";
    }

I have to display and then disable it(i mean make it readonly).

(Among other things)I added the jQuery tag as it looks like you're using it. — gdoron

Update:

element.readOnly = true

Set readonly with:

$('#chkbox1').prop('readonly', true);

Or:

$('#chkbox1').attr('readonly', 'readonly');

display can be done with:

$('#chkbox1').show();

Or with:

$("#chkbox1").css('display', 'block');

:We are using '$' as a function just to avoid rewriting 'document.getElementById'.
