I calculate and want to display the numerical result.

I can do it by assigning to the value attribute of an <input type=text> 
element.

However, I don't want the user to be able to change the value displayed.

I tried readonly="readonly" but, unless I had a bug in the code, I found I 
couldn't programmatically change the value displayed by assigning to value.

How should I do that?

Thanks
