The Input DatetimeLocal readOnly property is used to set or return whether a datetimeLocal field should be read-only, or not. Once a field has been declared read-only, it cannot be further modified. However, the read-only field can be tabbed, highlighted and can be used for copying text. The HTML readonly attribute is reflected by the Input DatetimeLocal readOnly property.

Syntax:

  • To return the readOnly property:
datetimelocalObject.readOnly
  • To set the readOnly property:
datetimelocalObject.readOnly = true|false

Property Value:

  • true|false : It is used to specify whether the datetimeLocal field will be read-only or not. It is false by default.

Return Value : It returns a Boolean value that represents whether the Input DateTimeLocal field would be readOnly or not. 

Below program illustrates the DatetimeLocal readOnly property :
